Perform at Delhi Poetry Slam: Join Our Spoken Word Community
Whether you are a seasoned writer or just starting out, find your tribe here. We offer open mics, mentorship, and a creative home near Connaught Place.
This is what we do. We turn passionate poets into published authors and prize winners. Our Wingword Poetry Competition is your chance to win cash prizes up to ₹50,000, get your book published, and have your voice heard across India. Your dream can come true with us.
We believe poetry is a gift meant to be shared. Watch as we surprise strangers across Delhi with a poem, bringing a moment of connection and happiness to their day. This is the power of words, to make someone's life a little better, and sometimes, your own.
Welcome to the DelSlam fam. This is our tribe of volunteers and poets, hanging out at our studio space near Connaught Place. People walk in as strangers but leave as friends. We are a true artistic support system.
The energy of a live show is electric. Here are some moments from our 'Words of Love' spoken word event at Vegas Mall, Dwarka. We provide the stage, you bring the words. Come watch our poets or take the mic yourself at our next open mic night.
It's not just about performance, it's about growth. Here's a glimpse into our 'Verse and Voice' workshop, where emerging poets work in an intimate group setting to refine their writing and performance skills with expert mentors.
This is the moment it all becomes real. One of our community members holding her book, published after finding her direction with us. We don't just give you a stage, we give you a path to becoming a published author.
Our community isn't limited to Delhi. Through initiatives like the World Poetry Project, we connect poets from across the globe, fostering a vibrant international network through online sessions and a global anthology. Let your words travel far with us.
Our founder, Saumya Choudhury, shares the philosophy that drives us. Poetry is more than just words; it's a tool for personal healing, a way to witness your own story, and a bridge to understanding others. It's the soul of our community.

Your Creative Home in Delhi
We are more than just a stage. We are a family of poets, writers, and storytellers who believe that everyone has a voice worth hearing. Our studio near Connaught Place is designed as a sanctuary for creativity, where you can share your work, attend a workshop, or simply hang out over chai and pizza.

Why Join Our Tribe?
Poetry is often personal, but it thrives in community. We have seen engineers, doctors, and students walk into our studio as strangers and leave as part of our circle. By removing the pressure of perfection, we allow you to focus on what matters: the soul of your writing. Whether you are from a small town in Bengal or the heart of Delhi, your creative journey finds a home here.
Delhi Poetry Slam
We are a noisy, supportive family of poets, from doctors to students, all writing in English, Hindi, and more. We started this to amplify voices from every corner of India, and we are here to make sure your words find their audience.
