FUNDRAISER! FUNDRAISER! FUNDRAISER!
Toronto's only monthly Youth Poetry Slam, BAM!, is back in full effect for a special FUNDRAISER slam, featuring the current BAM! TORONTO YOUTH SLAM TEAM OF 2014!
This slam will operate as a normal slam, but all fundraised money (additional contributions past the $5 cover is HIGHLY ENCOURAGED) will be given towards the upcoming competition team costs (travel, lodging, registrations, etc.), representing Toronto at many of the big conference, including BRAVE NEW VOICES (PHILLY - International Youth Nationals) and YOUTHCANSLAM (OTTAWA - Canadian Youth Nationals)! PLEASE DONATE AND FUND THE DREAMS OF BAM! 2014.

INTERESTED IN COMPETING?
Rules of a BAM! Poetry Slam are quite simple. Bring 3 poems, just in case. There we will have 12 slots open for youth poets ages 12-19 - 2-3 rounds (based on number of competitors), 3 minutes with a 10 second grace period for every poet to drop their fire, with a 0.5 penalty for every 10 seconds afterwards. No props, no instruments, etc.
There is an OPEN MIC available for ALL AGES for anyone that wants to share his or her works on stage!
INTERESTED IN QUALIFYING FOR THE BAM! TEAM?
Basically, from now monthly to September, finishing 1st will get 5 points, 2nd place gets 3 points, 3rd place gets 2 points, and the remaining youth slammers gets 1 point. In October, the top 12 point leaders in descending order will be invited to our October semi finals to compete to be on the BAM! Toronto Youth Poetry Slam Team! Priority will be given to those who have competed 2 months or more.

SO COME THRU AND BRING A FRIEND OR TWO! Let’s pack the house and have a great time! You will not regret it. There will be fire, blood and poetry! See you there!

SO WHO ARE B.Tdot / BAM! 2014?
B.Tdot (BAM! Toronto) is the 2013-2014 Toronto Youth Poetry Slam Team. We use our voices to try and make a change and speak on behalf of those who can't.
We are the BAM! Toronto Youth Slam Team for 2013-2014, otherwise known as BTdot. We consist of many talented poets with many accolades and slams under their belt. We have been invited to compete at Youth Speaks - BRAVE NEW VOICES 2014 in Philadelphia! With the help of our coaches Patrick De Belen and Brian Millado we're hoping to bring crazy fire to Philadelphia this year at Brave New Voices and the other events we hope to competing at! Additionally, we will be representing Toronto at the youth Canadian nationals in Ottawa, YOUTHCANSLAM! This is a dream come true for all of our poets and we would appreciate any help that you can provide to help us get there!
