ABOUT THE TOURNAMENT
Midwest Poetry Mash-Up is a small (10 team max) team slam poetry tournament. With the (likely permanent) closure of CUPSI and the longer-than-expected hiatus of many regional competitions, we wanted to create a space where college students and regional poets could compete and have a good ole’ tournament in this art form that we love.
When: Thursday, April 29th- Saturday, May 1st, 2027
Where: Phoenix Theater (2605 Hennepin Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55408)
Details:
-
2 prelim bouts per team with Saturday evening finals
-
$175 fee per team registration fee

Cash prize of $500 for the winning team
