SSHRC Storytellers Challenge

SSHRC has recently launched its annual Storytellers contest, challenging postsecondary students to creatively show Canadians how social sciences and humanities research has an impact on our lives and on our communities.

The contest is open to all students—graduate and undergraduate—enrolled at Canadian postsecondary institutions. Their task is to tell the story, in 3 minutes or 300 words, of a SSHRC-funded research project—their own or a professor’s—taking place at their institution. SSHRC will select 25 finalists to receive a $3000 cash prize and specialized training in research communications. For details on this year’s Storytellers contest, please follow SSHRC on Twitter, watch the #SSHRCStorytellers hashtag, and visit the SSHRC website.

Don’t hesitate to contact SSHRC should you have any questions. Participant questions should be addressed to Storytellers@sshrc-crsh.gc.ca
