LingoSlam is the biggest event of the year. ViGør bands together to plan a fun afternoon of features by students and teachers alike at Aarhus University. Anyone can participate and show off their expertise in any arbitrary area. Participants will compete to win in five different categories: humoristic, creative/artistic, poetic, academic, and humdinger/best of all. Participants get 8 minutes to do whatever their heart pleases to compete for unique diplomas as proof of excellence.
So what can you expect from this exceptional afternoon? What magnificent sights will be presented? What words will be uttered? This is a secret for now, but one thing we can confirm is that our three judges of Lingoslam 2025 will be Rebekah Baglini, Maria Jørgensen, and Anders Højen. You may have seen them aimlessly roaming the halls, not knowing what to do with themselves because their time to shine had not yet come. This will change on May 2nd, as they will assume their roles as judges of this year’s LingoSlam as the universe has willed it.
There will be cake, of course – IF more people sign up for the cake list. It could be on you (yes, you!) to have the responsibility of what sweet flavour will linger in our mouths as we clap our hands together and laugh out loud (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1R2eM3MFFCYRkEl7Gp37NlZS_IRdGdBCmyWdRK_9wzKI/edit?usp=drive_link).
Furthermore, LingoSlam is a great opportunity to meet other linguists at Aarhus University. So come along to this year’s LingoSlam extravaganza and prepare to be flabbergasted out of your socks!
