Spit your truth. Share your story. Win the bag.

Roswell’s hottest poetry showdown is BACK—bigger, bolder, and louder! In honor of National Poetry Month, we’re celebrating the power of words to shape culture, spark conversations, and inspire new voices. Three exhilarating rounds. Local poets bringing fire. Plus, a special guest performance you don’t want to miss. 12 poets compete for $1,850 in cash prizes, and the winner snags a $1,000 grand prize.

Want to compete?

12 spots total—6 are saved for slam veterans, and 6 open slots are first-come, first-served at the door. Sign-ups kick off at 6 PM—one hour before the show.

You must be 18 to compete. All ages are welcome to attend.

Whether you’re here to drop bars, cheer on local talent, or get inspired to write your own, Outspoken is a space to celebrate the voices shaping our culture.

Pull up. Speak out. Own the mic.
