ROAR STORY SLAM IS HEADING TO TEXAS! 🤠

ROAR Story Slam is an annual live storytelling competition where six finalists are selected from our submission pool to perform their unique, creative, and authentic Korean American story for a chance to win a cash prize of up to $1,000. Through ROAR Story Slam, we want to encourage Korean Americans to recognize the significance and range of our community’s narratives and to document and preserve them for the community and beyond.

⭐️ Our theme for this year’s ROAR Story Slam is “What the Heck?” ⭐️

“What the heck” is often used to express dismay, frustration, or anger. But there are times we use it to emphasize feeling surprised or doing something we shouldn’t do. Whether good, bad, funny, or downright awkward, submit your story and if selected, have a chance at a cash prize!

‼️ Rules ‼️
– Entrants must be at least 18 years of age.
– Submissions must be in English. Any Korean or other languages used must be translated.
– This competition is intended for those who identify as Korean American. Although entrants can reside anywhere in the US, selected finalists must be able to compete live in Houston, TX on March 31, 2023 @ 4-10PM.
– Selected finalists are required to attend professional storytelling coaching sessions, provided free of charge to you, via Zoom between February – March 2023.
– Selected finalists must agree to sign a waiver allowing KoreanAmericanStory.org the rights to record, edit, and use the live event video.
*Financial assistance is available for those who demonstrate need on an individual basis for travel*
