We’re excited to announce that SSHRC’s ninth annual Storytellers Challenge is now open. Share your most creative and effective storytelling submission for your chance to win cash prizes and enhance your research communication skills!

The annual Storytellers challenges postsecondary students from across Canada to tell the story—in up to three minutes or 300 words—of how SSHRC-funded research is actively making a difference in the day-to-day lives of Canadians. These stories help Canadians better understand how social sciences and humanities research is changing our world for the better.

Be creative! Your story can be a video, an article, a poem, a song, an infographic or whatever short-form format is within the rules. Get inspired by viewing top submissions from 2014 to 2020 at the Storytellers gallery.

The deadline to submit your story is Monday, January 24, 2022, at 5 p.m. (eastern).

Don’t miss out! We want to hear from you!
