Each heat winner and runner-up will receive prizes and progress to the State final with the chance to compete for the 2011 Australian Poetry Slam national title in Sydney.
The WA state winner and runner-up will take home $500 and $100 in prize money respectively and be flown to Sydney to compete on the main stage of the Sydney Theatre Company on 27th November for the title of 2011 Australian Poetry Slam Champion!
