It is a competition between ten chosen candidates on stage. They perform an artistic text in terms of a poem, short-story or even a song, which they have written on their own. In the end your creativity is virtually endless. Date: Festival Friday evening (April 8, 2011). Language: English or German.
One by one out of the ten chosen candidates have the right to speak on the L-BEACH poetry slam stage for exact three minutes. In the first round the jury (five random girls in the audience and some special guests) evaluate every performance. The three girls with the highest score acquire the last round. In the finale the participants have to convince the audience in exact three minutes again, because now it passes judgment on them.
