Spoken Word Artists Wanted!
Yes, it’s time again for a new edition of our Spoken Word event Between the Lines! Take the stage and share your voice in this special edition, where we’re intentionally creating space for performances in multiple languages.
Do you have a poem, spoken word piece, story, or another creative expression you’d like to share? Sign up now for this multilingual edition and let your talent shine in the language that feels most like home to you.
The event will be hosted by spoken word artist Derek Otte. Depending on the artist and audience, the host will present in Dutch or English.

Based on the submissions, we’ll make a selection of artists who will perform. By Monday, 17 November 2025, you’ll receive an email letting you know whether you’ve been selected.

Note: We do not tolerate hate speech, misogyny, racism, anti-LGBTIQ+ sentiment, or any other form of exclusion or discrimination in performances.
Open Mic
During the event, we’ll also host an Open Mic, giving audience members the chance to perform or share their text. If you’re not selected for the main line-up, no worries! Come along anyway and share your words during the Open Mic.
