As the Slammaster of Houston Poetry Slam, I prefer poets be at least 17 years old. But I'm willing to make allowances for any poet that demonstrates exceptional writing and performance ability. The real question is: if you're an underage poet, will your parents allow you to compete locally or Nationally? Often slams occur in bars where alcohol is served. Will a parent object to their child being in such an environment? Poetry slams are uncensored. Would a parent object to their child expressing themselves poetically in an uncensored manner? Or would a parent object to their child hearing subject matter covered by adult poets? Generally speaking, if you're going to have a problem with your parents letting you slam - you probably shouldn't do it until you're of legal age to make your own decisions.
