Storymakers 2014 is Coming!

Nonprofits can change the world through storytelling. But to do that, their stories need to stand out and be noticed.

The Storymakers campaign empowers nonprofits, libraries, and charities with the tools and training to tell their stories, get noticed, and make an impact.

As part of the Storymakers challenge, TechSoup hosts a series of educational webinars and interactive events to help social good organizations create and share better stories.

Storymakers culminates in a challenge. Starting August 26 - September 26, participants can submit any of the following digital stories to be in the running for our fabulous cash prizes:

a two minute video;
a short-form Vine or Instagram video; or
a five-picture Flickr slideshow

Participate and Learn

Our live webinar and workshop events are a great way to expand digital media learning and empower story makers to make impact.

You also have the opportunity to participate in live interactive events like a video round-table or a dynamic tweet chat where you'll have the opportunity to connect and engage with experts and fellow changemakers passionate about impact storytelling.
