Dear Colleagues,
Please find attached a call out for Expressions of Interests (EOI) for libraries for this year’s Australian Poetry Slam (APS) program. The attached EOI call out can also be found online here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sAogI-i3J9W3c2wU-6Enbc9LKNyA8Czs/view?usp=sharing
The literary arts organisation Word Travels invites your library to join APS 2025 – a national live literary performance program.
Submit an EOI to ensure your local writers get the chance to participate in poetry slam heats, workshops, the VIC Final in Melbourne and the National Final at Sydney Opera House in October.
The winner of the APS National Final is awarded a prize pack worth $20,000 including publication, international touring, a writing residency, professional mentoring, and a headline spot in Story Week 2025 – our annual performing writers celebration.
Libraries in Merri-bek, City of Melbourne, Hume, Shepparton, Wodonga and more have participated with great success.
The EOI deadline is 25 February 2025 and can be completed here: https://forms.gle/TqxSWJobzq9VkF7V7
Please contact Word Travels on [email protected] if you have any questions.
