Lancaster Story Slam: HippoCamp Edition

Hippocampus Magazine and Books is pleased to welcome our friends from Lancaster Story Slam to this year's event, as they produce a special HippoCamp Edition of their monthly, live storytelling event.

On Friday, Aug. 13, we’ll welcome up to 10-12 storytellers to the stage to share their story.

The theme is: TBA!

We’ll also have door prizes between stories so that everyone in attendance has a chance to play along, whether they sign up to tell a story or not.

TO SIGN UP

• Put your name in and sign a video release form before the event starts (doors open at 7:45)
• We’ll randomly select 10-12 storytellers (based on how we’re doing on time)

RULES

While a Story Slam is a competition, we don’t take the competitive part too seriously. Our goal is to provide a fun night of stories, and we are always thrilled to see first-time storytellers!

Official Rules for the HippoCamp Story Slam:

• Storytellers sign up upon arrival. Names are drawn out of a hat to decide order of presentation.
• Stories should fit into the theme of the night!
• Stories should be true as you remember it!
• Stories should be under five minutes in length!
• No Notes, No Props, No Music!
• Three judges are selected from the audience. Each storyteller is given a score on a scale of 1-10 for two different criteria: content and presentation. At the end of the night, the winner and runner-up will be announced and prizes awarded.
