About #IWPSDC:
The Individual World Poetry Slam brings together elite competitive performance poets from all over the world. In this event, poets compete in preliminary competitions (referred to as “bouts”) over two nights. The top performers from those days move on to Finals, where one poet is crowned iWPS champion! For more information on these amazing events check out our website at http://iwps.poetryslam.com.
