LOBO SLAM
ABQ slams and the University of New Mexico are proud to bring back Lobo Slam to the Burque Poetry scene. Join us every third Wednesday of the month at Winnings Coffee Company 7:00 pm for our monthly poetry slam and open mic. Poetry slam is a form of competitive poetry reading in which poets perform their original work and are judged on a scale from 1 to 10 by randomly selected audience
members. Please reference Poetry Slam Inc website for official rules and regulations. https://www.poetryslam.com/faq/general-faq %20is%20poetry%20slam? This means poets who compete and place at Lobo Slam can gain points to qualify for both making the CUPSI team as well as the ABQ city team. Only poets who are students and faculty at UNM or CNM are eligible for making the college team who will represent UNM at the College Union Poetry Slam Invitational taking place in the spring. NOTE: Poets who place at Lobo Slam shows after the CUPSI team is chosen will still gain points in qualifying for the ABQ City team. NOTE: Lobo Slam is ran Fall semester to Spring semester. We go dark in the Summer. Official qualifying seasons are:
