**CRANDIC area qualifier**

The 2024 IPA Poetry Slam season is here! The Iowa Poetry Association is hosting a series of six qualifying poetry slams across the state in the search for our 2024 IPA Poetry Slam Champion.

The top two poets from each qualifier will automatically advance to the IPA Poetry Slam Finals to be held on April 19, 2024, as part of Poetry Palooza!

The third place poet from each qualifier will serve as an alternate finalist in case another is unable to attend.

The winner of our slam will be named the 2024 Iowa Champion and earn an IPA-sponsored spot in the 2024 BlackBerry Peach National Poetry Slam. This year's national slam will be held in Roswell, Georgia, June 5-8. 2024.

Register to compete ahead of time by emailing ipa@iowapoetry.com with "Slam Entry" and your chosen location in the subject line. In the body of the email, please include your full name, hometown, and contact information.
