Flagstaff, AZ and Poetry Slam Inc. (PSi) present the 2016 Individual World Poetry Slam. This site is maintained by the Host City Committee in conjunction with PSi, and is intended to serve as a guide to the event for competitors, volunteers and fans of slam poetry.

The Individual World Poetry Slam is a four day poetry slam festival created by PSi giving poets the opportunity to compete outside of a team competition for the title of the Individual World Poetry Slam Champion. The event will bring world acclaimed feature performers, poetry and performance workshops, specialty slams, open mics, and events for all ages to Flagstaff, AZ.

The contenders will hail from every major North American city including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Vancouver, as well as countries around the world such as Australia, France and Germany. Participants will compete in two days of preliminary competitions, culminating in a final clash of the top twelve on the final stage.
