IWPS

The 2006 Individual World Poetry Slam

is OVER!!!

After three nights of intense competition,
including a very tense final round with a
couple of unexpected twists

THE 2006 WORLD CHAMPION IS:

MIKE MCGEE

and in second place:

Joaquin Zihuatanejo

third:

Andrea Gibson

forth:

Jared Paul

A few interesting facts:

Jared Paul read a non-political poem.
It was a beautiful tribute to his mom.

The second place poet, Joaquin, actually
scored a perfect thirty in the final round
but he went over time by a second and ended
with a score one tenth of a point lower than
the new champion.

The final show was staffed entirely by women!
