Saturday Night Slam Series in Provo, April 9, 2016 @ 6pm

snssThe Saturday Night Slam Series in conjunction with the BYU English Society presents the The Final(s) Slam!

Dates vary, but the slams are about once a month and held on campus. Check their Facebook Events page for details. 

The this Saturday Night Slam is April 9, 2016 at 6pm and will be held at The Wall at the Wilkinson Center. 1151 Wilkinson Student Center in Provo.

Entry fee is one original Haiku. 16 people will be randomly selected to present during our intermission.

Poetry performed should be acceptable for a general audience, i.e PG-13. To sign up you can email saturdaynightslamseries@gmail.com or contact them via their Facebook page.

The format is slightly different than other slams. Rather than judges holding score cards after each performance, the randomly selected judges keep notes throughout the evening and then meet together at the end (during the head-to-head haiku championship round) to decide the winners.

10830551_632783593500376_6091751689653824072_o

The mission of the Medusa Collective “is to support and unite female and non-binary musicians and encourage better gender representation in the Provo music scene.”

For more about the Medusa Collective and what they are up to, you can read this interview with Stephen Cope in Reach Provo.

The Medusa Collective is publishing their second annual zine and is calling all women and non-binary musicians, artists, and writers for their submissions! The theme is bodies and the deadline is April 15th.

They are calling for essays, poems, photographs, digital or illustrated 2-d art, photographed 3-d art, collages, etc. They are also doing a music compilation, so if you have a song that fits with the topic, or want to write one, they are interested in those as well. Some possible topics for both mediums are race, disability, gender, sexuality, trauma, the male gaze, and the infinite intersections of those things. They ask those interested to please keep in mind that genitals don’t equal gender🏽, and if there are triggering things in your written works please write which triggering topics they are at the beginning. 

If you like this post, please share with your writerly friends and/or follow my blog or like my Facebook page.

SUBMIT VIA EMAIL TO: themedusacollective.gmail.com

DEADLINE: April 15, 2016

NOTES: Local work is preferred, but this call is open worldwide for art and written works in English. Unpublished work is preferred, but if you have a previously published piece which fits the topic well, don’t refrain from submitting as long as you have rights to reprint.

SUBMISSION FEE: None

FORMS: essays, poems, photographs, digital or illustrated 2-d art, photographed 3-d art, collages, songs, etc.

PAYMENT: None
