UK - Farrago Zoo Award Ballot. Please vote for your favourite performers of 2007
News in Poetry The Farrago Zoo Awards for performances at events during 2007.


Listed below are the nominees for the Farrago Zoo Awards for performances in 2007, which was a brilliant year for us. We had our biggest ever overall annual audience turn out and some superb readings and performances by new and established poets and performers, making the selection process really difficult in each of the eight categories.

The Farrago Zoo Awards are the UK’s longest running performance poetry awards, voted for annually by the supporters and audience of Farrago Poetry. Please choose your favourite performer in each category and reply to this e-mail with ZOO in the subject line. The deadline for getting your vote in is noon on 10th January, the winners will be announced at a special awards ceremony at the Farrago New Year SLAM! in the evening, details of the show at the bottom of the ballot.
