About this event

Experience the power of poetry like never before! From The Creater of The Queen City Awards:
Join us for Poetry In Motion, a thrilling spoken word competition where words come alive and energy fills the room. Each month, six incredible poets take the stage, delivering powerful 10-minute performances that will move, inspire, and entertain.
Judged on Crowd Engagement, Word Play, and Energy, these poets aren’t just competing—they’re putting on a show! Winners from each round advance to the Finals in June, where one will claim the Poetry In Motion crown and amazing prizes (see flyer for details).
But that’s not all—every performance will be filmed for The Konnected’s Poetry In Motion TV Show, so you’ll witness rising stars in the making!
Whether you’re a longtime poetry lover or just looking for a night of incredible entertainment, this is the event for you. Grab a seat, bring your energy, and get ready for a night of unforgettable performances!
There are limited Open Mic Slots Available. Sign Up At The Door
Come for the poetry, stay for the experience!
