We are The 2015 BattleBorn Slam Team.  Since 2010, we have a been providing a premier Performance Poetry opportunity for folks throughout the lifespan.  Currently Headquartered out of Downtown Las Vegas next to the Downtown Container Park, we offer a competitive poetry slam experience the first Saturday of the Month in addition to a monthly workshop designed to generate new material and help workshop older material.  In April, the winners of our monthly slams get together to battle it out one final time to see who will comprise the team that represents Las Vegas at the National Poetry Slam.  

The National Poetry Slam is a competition and workshop for the 72 teams that participate every year.  Attending this experience helps fuel and strengthen our amazing literary community here in Las Vegas by allowing us to attend craft workshops, affinity readings, and network to bring national literary talent to Las Vegas for performances.

As the 2015 BattleBorn Slam Team travels to Oakland this summer August 10-16, we seek your assistance in helping us raise $1500 to pay for the cost of 1 hotel room, as well a rental van for the week.  Any additional money raised will help us pay for incidental expenses needed throughout the week.

IMPACT

By contributing to this campaign, you help to further the growth of the Las Vegas poetry community and open up more opportunities for us to give the youth of our community a productive outlet for their struggles. By our presence at the National Poetry Slam, you also help us continue to bring in top-level talent to expose our city to the kinds of life-changing experiences that can be created with nothing more than a voice and a microphone.

WHAT IF I CAN'T CONTRIBUTE?

If you can't contribute financially - we dig that. Times are tough. But if you have access to any special deals on travel, merchandise production, or if you just want to send us good vibes and well wishes we'd appreciate it endlessly! While it may only be 5 of us physically going to the National Poetry Slam, we're taking this whole community with us in our hearts!
