Slam Poetry is "a competitive poetry performance in which selected audience members score performers and winners are determined by total points. Slam is a composite genre that combines elements of poetry, theater, performance, and storytelling. The genre’s origins can be traced to Chicago in the early 1980s. Since then, groups of volunteers have organized slams in venues across the world." (Poetry Foundation)
