Where Memphis Comes to Clash with Words.

Welcome to The Word Clash — the ultimate Memphis poetry slam and open mic where the mic isn’t just open, it’s on fire. This is where bold voices collide, egos and content are tested, and only one poet walks away with the cash, the crown, and the bragging rights.

THE MIC IS A BATTLEFIELD
Up to 8 poets step into the spotlight each slam night, armed with nothing but their words. They’ll spit, the audience will snap (or not), they’ll shake the room—and the judges and audience will decide who advances and who gets cut. Win or lose, every round is unforgettable.

THREE ROUNDS. ONE CHAMPION.
The night unfolds in a high-energy, three-round format. The strongest voices rise to the top, the crowd leans in, and by the end, one poet stands victorious—claiming the Word Clash Champion title and a cash prize to match.

THE VIBE IS ELECTRIC.
Whether you’re here to compete, cheer, or just witness the fireworks, you’ll leave buzzing. Because this isn’t just poetry—it’s combat, community, and catharsis all at once.
