SLAM — I AM LOUD

Our 2023 Slam Series was awarded Best Regular Spoken Word Event in the UK at the Saboteur Awards. Our 2023 Grand Slam Final with the Edinburgh International Book Festival won the Creative Edinburgh Collaboration Award. We’re very proud that the poem that won the inaugural 2023 Forward Prize for Best Single Poem - Performed was performed at our Slam Series: Bohdan Piasecki earned the award for his stellar performance of “Almost Certainly” with our guitarist Jack Hinks. [...] Loud Poets are partnering with festivals and venues across the UK to find and celebrate the best in spoken word. We’re partnering with some incredible organisations including Push The Boat Out, VERVE Poetry Festival, StAnza: Scotland’s International Poetry Festival, Paisley Book Festival, UP YER AIRTS, Aberdeen Performing Arts, Process Productions, and Bradford Literature Festival. Stay tuned for details on all of our upcoming Slam Heats signing up to our newsletter.
