About the Emerging Storyteller Award
Our Emerging Storyteller Scholarship was established in 2015. We offer four months’ mentoring for an emerging storyteller, by an accomplished teller, plus complimentary admission to our upcoming conference and one-year membership to SC-CC. To celebrate the award, the recipient/s are invited to perform at one of the conference events.
Emerging storytellers are chosen by storytelling guilds or groups in the region where the annual conference is held.
2025 Application Information
For the 2025 award year, we will award $600 grants to three organizations, guilds, or individuals from the Atlantic Provinces (New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, PEI, Labrador). The grant will cover fees for the emerging storytellers to receive mentoring from their organizations to prepare them for presenting their stories at the conference held from June 18 - 22 at the 2025 SC-CC Conference in Halifax, Nova Scotia. In addition to the grant, conference admission fees for the selected tellers will be paid by SC-CC.
Deadline for applications is January 15, 2025.
