SSHRC has launched its seventh annual Storytellers contest.
Eligibility: The contest is open to all students, graduate and undergraduate, enrolled at Canadian postsecondary institutions.
Your task is to tell the story, in three minutes or 300 words, of a SSHRC-funded research project—your own or a professor’s and show Canadians how social sciences and humanities research affects our lives, our world and our future prosperity.
Amount: Each year, a jury selects 25 finalists to receive a $3,000 cash prize and specialized training in research communications. At the 2019 Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences, a second jury will select the final five winners, who will receive an expense-paid trip for their presentations to be featured at the prestigious SSHRC Impact Awards.
Deadline: January 31, 2019, at 5 p.m. (Eastern)
