ABOUT THE FESTIVAL
The Womxn of the World Poetry Slam Festival (WOWPS) is a 4-day international poetry competition and festival that is open to people 18 years and older who navigate the world as and/or identify as womxn. The winner of this WOWPS competition will be crowned the Womxn of the World Poetry Slam Champion.
The WOWPS community was uniquely designed to honor and celebrate the stories of womxn in a world that readily attempts to silence and oppress them. It is a space where womxn are centered, safe, and encouraged and open to womxn of all sexuality, creed, race, nationality and religion. WOWPS was introduced to the national slam poetry community in 2008 by Kimberly Simms and Deborah Marsh. The first WOWPS was held in Detroit, Michigan and since that time, the slam and festival has been traveling all across the United States.
