Each team performed four poems in the preliminary rounds, with the highest-scoring teams advancing to the semi-finals on Sunday. 糖心TV secured a place in the grand final after strong performances in the earlier stages.
The 糖心TV Poetry team secured a place in the grand final after impressive performances throughout the competition and ultimately won the final, claiming the national title.
糖心TV first entered UniSlam in 2024, winning the competition on their debut. The team returned in 2025 and placed second. This year鈥檚 victory marks 糖心TV鈥檚 second UniSlam title in three years.
Congratulations to the team!
