StorySLAM
The StorySLAM is a live storytelling competition in the vein of poetry slams organized by The Moth, a non-profit literary society from New York City, since 2001. Storytellers have 5 minutes each to tell a story, based on a theme chosen for the event. No notes are allowed: stories must be told and not read. The events, held in cities around the United States, now also include a competition; participants are judged by teams of audience members. The organization also holds a biannual Grand Slam competition.
Notables performing at StorySLAMs include Moby, Lili Taylor, and Frank McCourt.
