Welcome to the National Youth Storytelling Showcase
Thank you for your interest in the National Youth Storytelling Showcase (formerly the National Youth Storytelling Olympics). Please find information below explaining this NEW and EXCITING part of the annual Smoky Mountains Storytelling Festival held in Pigeon Forge during February. In addition to a NEW location, and NEW prize categories, we have added a NEW opportunity for TANDEM storytelling!
The National Youth Storytelling Showcase is a unique opportunity for kids of all ages to participate in storytelling at a local, regional, and national level. The goal is simply to help kids tell stories. Each young storyteller will have an opportunity to develop their story and to tell their story in a comfortable and supportive environment. ALL kids are WINNERS.
