InVerse is a National Level English Poetry Slam competition hosted by BITS Pilani, Goa
as a part of our Literary Fest “Carpe Dictum”. We hold regional preliminary qualifier events in 6 different cities across India. The top 3 winners per city get to participate in the InVerse finals held at BITS Goa during the cultural fest “Waves”. This event is the Bangalore regional qualifier for InVerse 2018.
Interested participants may register here
Contestants will have to send in the poem they will be performing in their respective cities, during online registrations. A screening process will be in place to accept the 20 best entries for performance during the Regionals
The contestants will have to perform in the English language
Each poet must perform only original work that he/she has created.
Poems can be on any subject and in any style.
Each poet gets 3 minutes to read out their poems. A 10 second grace period after the 3:00 mark will be given.
After 3:10 mark, a penalty of -0.5 is added to the score for every 10 seconds over time.
The poet may not use props, costumes, or musical instruments.
Vulgarity for vulgarity's sake will be penalised.
The judges will give each poem a score from 0 to 10, with 10 being the highest or “perfect” score. They will be encouraged to use one decimal place in order to preclude the likelihood of a tie.
The decision of the judging panel is final and absolute.
The number of contestants chosen to go through to the Finals will depend on the total number of contestants in the city, to ensure fairness
