Poetry Slam in Göttingen

Experience the energy of competitive spoken word at this poetry slam in Göttingen. Poets perform original work before a live audience and a panel of judges, who score each performance on both content and delivery. The audience is encouraged to react with clapping, snapping, and stomping, adding to the electric atmosphere.

This event follows the classic slam format: five judges are selected from the audience, and the highest and lowest scores are dropped to ensure fairness. Poets compete in multiple rounds, with lower-scoring performers eliminated along the way. The evening culminates in a final round where the poet with the highest total points is crowned the winner.

The competitive edge and audience participation make each performance unique, showcasing the power of spoken word in a lively, community-driven setting.
