The following is the footage from the Slam Poetry Club’s first Poetry Slam on March 14.

While mainly a venue for students to share their work, the slam was carried out in a contest-like format, in which four randomly selected members of the audience served as judges. After each performance, a judge would hold up a scorecard and the reader would receive an overall score for each of his or her works. However, students who did not want their work to be judged were allowed to perform between rounds.
