My name is Jessica Park and I work with KoreanAmericanStory.org, a nonprofit organization based in NYC.
KAS is hosting a Story Slam competition this year in NYC, LA, and Chicago with cash prizes and I was thinking some of the members in your organization might be interested in submitting or attending either the Los Angeles or Chicago event. The competition is about sharing your Korean American experience in a storytelling performance at our event where we'll have judges, a live audience, and entertainment. Previous judges have been Korean American author Eugenia Kim, ABC reporter Nydia Han, Washington Post reporter Gene Park, etc. It’ll be a good chance to showcase storytelling talents and skills while building connections with fellow Asian American creatives.
The deadline to submit stories for LA is March 6th, 2019 and the event date will be on the week of April 10th, 2019. The deadline for Chicago is May 6th, 2019 and the event is set to be sometime in June.
More info on how to submit can be found on our website or Facebook event page.
