Emerging Storyteller Award

Emerging Storyteller Award

The deadline for the 2020 Awards is Wednesday, October 30, 2019.


For the 2020 award year, the grant will be awarded to three organizations/guilds/individuals from British Columbia for the conference held in May, 2020. SC-CC wants to provide financial support to locally-determined mentorship programs and to budget increased funding for this award in future years so that more mentorship opportunities between emerging and experienced storytellers can be supported across Canada each year.

Basic Requirements for choosing an Emerging Teller: 

• have already begun telling stories to an audience 

• have demonstrated considerable talent and potential for development 

• have the beginning of a repertoire of stories   

• preferably, but definitely not absolutely, be between the ages of 18 and 35
