About Join Our Community: Announcements & Opportunities
When you apply for our curated showcases, please skip the casual clips. We look for artists who can hold a room for 20 minutes, so memorization and stage presence are key. If you are still finding your voice, check our open mic calendar, where we welcome shorter pieces and help you build that confidence before you hit the main stage.
Why Join Our Community?
Poetry is more than just words on a page. It is a way to connect, rebel, and heal. Whether you write in Hindi, English, or any regional language, we have built a space where your voice matters. This page is our central hub for all upcoming opportunities.
Opportunities to Get Involved
- Wingword Poetry Prize: Our annual national competition is open to every Indian citizen. It is a chance to get your work published, receive formal jury feedback, and compete for cash prizes.
- Curated Showcases: These are professional, high-impact events. We look for poets who can perform 20 minute sets. If you want to be considered, send us a recording that shows your stage presence and command over your material.
- Workshops & Mentorship: We host programs like 'Verse & Voice' to help you refine your writing technique and performance skills. These sessions are designed to move you from amateur to professional level spoken word.
- Open Mics: The perfect entry point. These events are smaller, more intimate, and the best place to test new material before a supportive audience.
A Note on Submissions
We are a community-first organization. We do not just look for great writers, we look for storytellers who care about their impact on the audience. When you submit your work or audition tape, be authentic. We value original, self-composed poems that reflect your unique perspective. Keep an eye on this space for audition deadlines and workshop schedules.
