We’re back with the fourth annual Cincinnati songSLAM! Five teams each present a single new song for voice and piano. The voting audience — in the poetry slam tradition — then votes for their favorite songs and awards a total of $2,000 in prize money. Don’t miss this fun event that engages both performers and audience members equally, all while bringing awesome new songs into the world and supporting the mission of Cincinnati Song Initiative!

Each song will be professionally recorded and available online so anyone in the world can view and vote. Online voting starts January 12 at 7:00pm ET and remains open until the end of the live SLAM on January 14, at which point all voting will end, and the winners will be announced.
