Following many many requests from all the lovers of Slam Poetry, Ideogramma together with KΕΝΟ Publications have decided to organise the competition for the Cyprus National Slam Champion 2026

Ideogramma’s application to the Cultural Services of the Deputy Ministry of Culture was successful, but the reply came too late for the organisers to stage the competition as originally planned, with an international and a national legs. And for this reason, the offer was declined.

However, and subsequently, Ideogramma and KΕΝΟ Publications decided to host the National Competition, asking all involved (organisers, designers, photographers – videographers, judges, Master of Ceremonies, Guest Slammer, etc) to donate their services… which was gladly accepted!
Master of Ceremonies (MC) and Guest Slammer Michael-Angelos Englezos.

We are therefore in the very happy situation to announce that the
9th Poetry Slam Cyprus 2026

Wednesday, 20 May 2026, arrival: 19.00, Start: 19.30
ARTos House, Nicosia
