Receiving a warm applause and being widely spread currently in English and German-speaking countries, Poetry Slam, as we define it, is a specific style of reciting poet’s original piece of work, whose goal is to get the most welcoming reaction from the audience as a response to his or her suggestive, emotional or entertaining performance.

Poetry Slam has found its place in a project called Fountain Poetry which is attempting to enrich Slovakia with Writing and Performing as an art form, giving the Writers and Freethinkers a new medium and stage to express themselves.They have successfully hosted one season with different kinds of slams, with the intention to please a wide range of individual preferences. Not willing to limit their own creativity, they gave the first season start with purely English Slam Poetry and later have prepared an interesting clash of English and German languages, whose representatives tried to persuade the audience of the beauty of their native tongue while putting all their effort to become the poet of the night.
