Do you have a story to tell?
Entry Deadline: 11:59pm ET, Sunday 8/15/2021
Virtual Event: 7-8:30pm ET, Friday 9/24/2021
On Sept. 24, as part of the first Unity Weekend, the UNITY STORY SLAM will showcase the most compelling storytelling by members of HBAS, H4A, HLAA, and NAAHU. We invite you to submit your true story on video for the chance to share it in this lively and moving celebration. Please also think about your friends and classmates who always have a great story and encourage them to enter as well!
Stoytellers need not be literary or performing professionals and the video submissions do not need to be polished. The 5 selected winners will work with a terrific storytelling coach and then re-record their stories for the actual Slam. A panel of judges, including HBAS' own Communications Co-Chair Kelly Shapiro, will select the winning storytellers in advance of the Slam based on the recordings. The winners will perform for the Slam and will each be awarded a $500 cash prize. The deadline to submit your 5-minute story is 11:59pm ET, Sunday, August 15th. Please click here for details on how to enter, and send any questions to unitystoryslam@gmail.com. We can't wait to hear your story!
