States
The Queensland Champion will receive a $500 cash prize, with the runner-up receiving a $100 cash prize.

Nationals
When it all comes to a head at the National Finals, slammers will be competing for the ultimate writer's tour of Asia. The Australian Poetry Slam Champion for 2013 will mix it up with the literati; presenting panels, performances and workshops at the Bookworm International Literary Festival in China in March 2014 and at the Ubud Writers and Readers Festival in Bali in October 2014.
The total value of the two trips is up to $12,000 — not to mention the priceless professional development opportunities.
