2-3, 2019
Cowboy and Cowgirl Poets will “ride” against each other on-stage performing their best cowboy poetry which will be judged by a panel of
five (5) judges, throwing out the high and low scores for a total score in each category. There will be two go-rounds with an average as in
rodeo and their average scores will determine the Champions.
The Cowboy Poetry Rodeo is an event, fashioned after a stock rodeo, designed to pit the skills of one cowboy poet against the others, all
having paid an entry fee to compete for prize money, trophy buckles and awards, with an ultimate goal to help further develop the talents
for both stage presence and writing styles, all at the same time to provide an entertainment value to the audience.
