The Wire Spoken Word Battle is on and we need your help to spread the word. HBO's original series, THE WIRE and http://www.blastro.com are challenging users to "Tell Us How You Were Educated" in an original spoken word piece.

Contestants should visit http://www.blastro.com/spokenwordbattle

Fill out an entry form and upload their video (WEBCAM Video is OK). The site hosts a video introduction from Sonja Sohn, member of the slam poetry community and the cast of THE WIRE.

5 finalists will be chosen in September and Blastro users will be able to vote for their favorite - the winning video could end up on HBO On Demand.
