Downeast Storytellers: StorySlam

The inaugural event of this storytelling season on Saturday, June 21, is a StorySlam with true tales told by local storytellers. Participants will have five minutes to woo the audience and the judges – this is competitive. Cash prizes will be awarded at the end of the evening to the top three storytellers.

- Stories must be true, and something that happened to you, not anyone else.

- The story may be comedic or serious.

- The story should have a beginning, a middle, and an end.

- No notes or props allowed. Stories must be told from memory and not read.

- No politics, bullying, or harassment of any type are allowed.

- The story should not contain content inappropriate for a young audience.

- Be sure to stay within the specified time allowance of five minutes.

Sign up in person or by emailing ZWFzdHBvcnRzdG9yaWVzIHwgZ21haWwgISBjb20= with your name and telephone number.

Downeast Storytellers is presented in collaboration with Sipayik Museum and The Quoddy Tides with support from the Maine Humanities Council.
