Settle Storytelling Festival presents a competition in
collaboration with social audio platform Audioboo to find Britain’s best
newcomer to the ancient art of storytelling.
To commemorate 2012 being the 200th anniversary of the
Brothers Grimm, the festival is asking budding storytellers to tell their own
version of a fantastical Grimm’s fairy tale – like Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty,
Rapunzel or Snow White.
Record and upload your entry here by July 31st 2012.
Prizes include £50.00, £25.00 and £10.00 National Book Tokens. The overall
winner will be invited to perform at the Storytelling Festival 2012. The
Festival takes place from 11th – 14th October 2012. This year’s line-up
includes award winning and international renowned storytellers. This is your
chance to share the stage with them.
The Brothers Grimm wrote many of the most well known
and well loved fairy stories in the world and everyone has a favourite – so pick
your story, make it your own and start telling it. Let your imagination go
wild, make it about your family, your friends or your school. Set it anywhere you
want – anything goes – and if you’ve ever really kissed a frog, we’d love to
know what happened!
