Poets who live their lives as women are eligible to participate in the Women of the World Poetry Slam.
Competitors are eligible from certified venues or as individuals from areas without certified venues (a.k.a. “Storm” poets). Certified venues have a window of time to enter before individuals not associated with certified slams are able to enter. All certified venues must have a competition to determine their contestants.
All competitors must be PSI members in good standing and must agree to participate in the event following the rules of Slam as well as the Code of Honour, and must allow for PSI to videotape their performances for PSI owned product.
