Call for Submissions: Montana Climate Stories
Calling Montana storytellers, artists, poets, and creatives: Now through February, submit your Montana Climate Story for a special feature!
Families for a Livable Climate and Stories for Action are looking for Montana storytellers and artists to contribute to our Montana Climate Stories project. Montana Climate Stories is a space for Montanans to share personal stories about how climate change is impacting them. We are working with statewide partners to expand the project and bring a traveling storytelling exhibit to six Montana communities in 2023.
Selected storytellers will receive $100 for their submission, and their story will be featured on our website, social media, and may be included in the traveling exhibit of stories in 2023. For this round of submissions we will prioritize Indigenous voices. Limit one submission per person.
Final submissions deadline: February 27, 2023.
