RULES:
1. Poets have 3 minutes (plus a 14-second grace period) to perform an original poem of their own in the 1st round and 2 minutes in the 2nd (if they have passed in the 2nd too).
For each 15” more, the poet is penalized with 0,5 points less from the total score.
​
2. The poet may not use props, costumes or musical instruments.
​
3. We encourage the poets to perform their poems without reading from a paper or any device. The audience loves it! 😉
​
4. Each poet should have prepared 2 poems (one 3 min and one 2 min long), in case he or she passes in the second round.
**
1. The judges are selected from the audience. We have 5 judges and the score should be between 0 -10. The higher and lower score are dropped and the middle three are added together, giving the poet a total score of 0-30.
2. Judges should pay attention on both, the poem and the performance, when they give the score to each poet, and without being influenced from the other judges.
