Hippocampus Magazine and Books is pleased to welcome our friends from Lancaster Story Slam to this year’s event, as they produce a special HippoCamp Edition of their monthly, live storytelling event.
On Friday, Aug. 23, we’ll welcome up to a dozen storytellers to the stage to share their story.
The theme is: CURIOSITY.
SIGN UP
- Put your name in and sign a video release form before the event starts (doors open at 7:45)
- We’ll randomly select 12 storytellers.
RULES
While a Story Slam is a competition, we don’t take the competitive part too seriously. Our goal is to provide a fun night of stories, and we are always thrilled to see new participants hop on stage.
Official Rules for the HippoCamp Story Slam:
– Storytellers sign up upon arrival. Names are drawn out of a hat to decide order of presentation.
– Stories should fit into the theme of the night! Our theme is CURIOSITY!
– Stories should be true as you remember it!
– Stories should be under five minutes in length!
– No Notes, No Props, No Music!
Three judges are selected from the audience. Each storyteller is given a score on a scale of 1-10 for two different criteria: content and presentation. At the end of the night, the winner will be announced and prizes awarded.
We’ll also have door prizes so that everyone in attendance has a chance to win!
