D.C.’s premier promotion and entertainment company, Beny Blaq Entertainment, will launch its first monthly poetry slam at Liv on July 21st. Every third Wednesday, poetry lovers can find Graffiti DC right in the center of U Street’s urban nightlife. The event will bring a slam competition to a city where spoken word is still a novelty.

On why he chose to do a slam event, Beny Blaq, CEO of BBE said, "I wanted to cover all aspects of the art form within the DMV.” After three years of success with The @ttic, D.C.’s biggest spoken word event, Blaq believes Graffiti DC “will take slam poetry to another level.”

If you don’t know what a poetry slam is, imagine young poets setting themselves apart from their peers with their performance, their visual expression and the lingering passion the audience feels when they finish speaking their heart out on the stage. At the end of it all, the winning poet receives a grand prize of $2,000.

Poets who have a healthy appetite for competition can use “Graffiti DC as a platform for the next generation of entertainers and entrepreneurs to showcase their talents through competition,” said Nyasha Chikowore, GDC Coordinator. “If anything, the series will encourage young people in the DMV to strive for greatness.”
