    #StorySlam: What’s YOUR Story?

    May 27, 2019 • 0 Comment

    As journalists and media professionals, we bring to life every imaginable story on events, issues and people in the news. Here’s a chance to tell YOUR story.

    After a wildly successful debut last year, AAJA-Asia is once again hosting Story Slam at N3Con 2019, giving the stage to members to tell the defining stories that connect their personal journey with their career, work and passions.

    Share with the audience the most significant moments in your life and career that has brought you to where you are today. The only requirements: they are your stories, and they are true stories.

    To participate, record a video of you telling your story and submit it to n3conference@gmail.com. (Nothing fancy—handheld phone video is fine!)

    The top five storytellers will take to the stage to compete for US$500 in an exciting live event on Saturday, June 1, 2019, at the N3Con Gala Awards Night in Hong Kong. The winner also earns a complimentary registration to AAJA’s National Convention 2019 in Atlanta. All finalists receive free entry to the gala.

    Submit your materials and any questions to n3conference@gmail.com.

    Here are some Story Slams from AAJA National Conventions:

    AAJA-Asia president K. Oanh Ha
    AAJA-Asia co-vice president (Hong Kong) Rebecca Isjwara
    Former AAJA-Asia president Angie Lau
