By: Dana Sidberry Motivation Marketing Firm During National Poetry Slam (NPS), all participants will compete in three days of preliminaries, 20 teams will advance to semi-finals on Friday night, and culminate in an ultimate clash of the top 4 teams on the final stage Saturday, to determine the winner. The event’s first time in the “Queen City” will bring more attention to the city’s staple poetry/literary organizations: Drawing diverse crowds from a melting pot of ages, ethnicities, economic backgrounds and genders, the attendees and participants of NPS have one thing in common: the love of literature, arts, and performance poetry. This great event will benefit arts organizations such as Poetry Slam, Inc., a non-profit organization, Blumenthal Performing Arts, and SlamCharlotte. The tournament is expected to bring over 5,000 attendees to the events and promises to stimulate the local economy. The event hopes to forge new relationships with local businesses, organizations, and area schools. The tournament’s goal is to attract individuals in the community to this cultural event, while reaching out to various age groups and poetry lovers in an effort to reaffirm their foundation for the arts, reading, and literature.
