NSN Story Slam Entry Form: Fierce
Strength, determination, and grit define many heroines. Come share your own stories of being or encountering a fierce woman. Who has lifted you up? Given you voice? Shaped your story? When did you have to step up, step in, or smackdown? Share your story of fiery leaders, ferocious actions, and firm hands. Or, a time you tried to be fierce and ended up cowering.
Twelve storytellers, chosen at random, will share their personal 5-minute story on the theme “Fierce.” The audience decides the winners.
First prize: $100. Second Prize: $50. Third Prize: $25.
If you would like to tell a story in the NSN Slam, please fill out and submit this form in its entirety. This is the form to put your name in the "virtual hat" to be able to tell a story. The tellers and order will be determined live during the slam.
