n 3 days it will be decided: the new Poetry Slam Champion! Before that, however, 3 semi-finals have to be run through. 27 poets compete and the best in each semifinal wins. The final will be on March, 12 in the Columbia Hall. In the evaluation of the results, the highest and lowest voting is dropped and only the remaining scores result in the total score. Poetry slam events have been held for years, were performed in sold-out locations to growing fan crowds. All of this year's finalists have won countless events. As in previous years (the Poetry Slam Championships have been held since 2008), tickets are already scarce for this year's events, but there are said to be remaining tickets available.
