LOUD POETS:
SLAM SERIES 2024

From March-August 2024 I Am Loud ran their second annual Loud Poets Slam Series!

They partnered with festivals and venues across the country to find and celebrate the best in Scottish spoken word. They held six regional slam heats, in St. Andrews, Edinburgh, Paisley, Dumfries, Aberdeen, and Inverness. The I Am Loud team partnered with Up Yer Airts to host a slam in May of 2024.

The winner of each heat received a £200 cash prize and, alongside the runner-up, qualifed for the Grand Slam Final in August with the Edinburgh International Book Festival with a £3,000 cash prize!

This entire Slam Series is available to watch for free through the I Am Loud YouTube channel. Up Yer Airts are thrilled to have a continued partnership with this amazing organisation and look forward to hosting more slams in the future. We feel extremely proud to be able to celebrate talented young spoken word artists in and around our region.
