TWO last chance slams for iWPS in 2007

Did you know there is traditionally one slot in the annual Individual World Poetry Slam reserved for an the winner of an open slam held the night before the contest? Did you know that in 2007 there will be TWO Last Chance Slams held?

RESERVED - 1ST NATIONS SLAM WINNER

Close to 100% of British Columbia sits on untreatied native land. And there is a solid Aboriginal population in the neighborhood. The 1st Nations Slam is a special event taking place this year that will honor the first nations that populated this land. This slam is a last chance slam, but it is only open to members of the First Nations. Even if you're NOT a member of the First Nations, we would love to see you attend and pay homage to the fact that we represent all nations, including the ones that existed before the Europeans landed on this continent.

The winner of this slam receives a prepaid reserved slot into the tournament. (Contestant is still responsible for their own travel and lodging arrangements)

RESERVED - LAST CHANCE SLAM WINNER

The winner of the last chance slam (or wild card slam) that takes place the night before the tournament wins the final slot in the annual tournament. Contestant is responsible for registration fee, travel and lodging arrangements.

So, get to Vancouver. Your chances are as good as anyone else's!
