7th Annual Dan Williams Local Tellers Competition

Oh you're gonna LOVE this!  Join us Tuesday, October 22, 2019 under the big red tent for a night of local life, legends and lies brought to you by 10 of your very own family, friends and neighbors. Sit back and enjoy this family-friendly event. It might even remind you of some stories of your own!

 

ATTENTION ALL AMATEUR STORYTELLERS
Speaking of stories of your own...have you been told you spin a good yarn?  Give yourself a chance to take the stage during Amateur Night!  The winner of the competition will also perform with our professional tellers during our Thursday night Olio. If you meet the criteria below,  send us an audition video (nothing fancy—shoot it on your phone if you like).

Applicants must:

  • Be true amateurs—nonprofessionals who have never received payment for storytelling

  • Live within a 100-mile radius of Athens

  • Submit a video of your telling (nothing fancy—smartphone videos are fine. Submissions do not have to be what you are going to tell at the event).

  • Submit their entry video no later than October 1, 2019

Performances must:

  • Be 10 minutes or less (you can not go over)

  • Be family friendly

  • Must be a true amateur, a nonprofessional who does not receive payment

THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST!
