What is StorySlam

What

StorySLAM is a live storytelling contest where eight participants compete to tell the best true and lived story in 8 minutes. No notes are allowed! The story must be true. Based on performance and content, they will be awarded on a scale of 1-9 of three juries: one professional jury in addition to two randomly selected audience jury. The three highest-score narrators then go on to a final round that evening where they will tell a new true and self-taught tale in 3 minutes. The highest score narrator after this round is the winner of the evening!

We arrange StorySLAM events in several Norwegian cities.

Ideology

Everyone can tell stories and everyone has a story to tell.
