The regional heats for this year's Radio 4 slam take place throughout the UK in July. If you have won any poetry slam since the last R4 slam competition in 2007 then you are eligible to compete!
The South East heat covers poets WHO ARE BASED in these regions: Milton Keynes, down through Oxford and Reading to Southampton and Portsmouth then through Brighton, Hastings Gulidford, Crawley, Maidstone and all points East below London [London itself has a separate heat]. There are some grey areas, so if you are unsure as to whether this is the correct regional heat for you to enter, please get in touch.
The S/E heat will be held at 7.30pm on Thursday 2nd July 2009 at the Komedia theatre in Brighton.
As there are limited spaces in the competition, I will operate a first come, first served basis when choosing poets to take part.
Please contact Rosy Carrick, at info@rosycarrick.co.uk. by 11th June AT THE VERY LATEST.
Good Luck!
