Story Wars - a monthly writing competition

Join us July 25th at Jukebox for Cleveland’s original evening of impromptu storytelling filled with laughter, spontaneity, and creativity! You do not need a ticket--this is an open and free event.

Story Wars is an open and inclusive space for story-lovers of all kinds! So whether you’re interested in writing or are excited to listen to some stories—all are welcome.

How it works:
Story Wars is made up of three rounds

• At the start of each round, a prompt is drawn blind from our big-jar-of-prompts and then read aloud. Anyone who would like to create their story has 5 minutes to write, choreograph a dance, compose a song—however you want to express yourself.
• After the 5 minutes is up, creators go around and read/perform their story for the audience.
• After the stories are finished, everyone (audience included) casts their votes!

There are 2 ways to win at Story Wars

• Overall Winner: at the end of each round, votes are casts for your top 3 favorite stories from that round. Those votes are counted and whoever accumulates the most overall votes wins the night and gets a prize!
• Superlative Winner: along with top 3 favorite stories, you’ll cast a superlative vote for each round. Every round has it’s own superlative. For example, if the first round superlative is “Commin’ In Hot,” the story with the best opening will win the superlative prize for that round!

Writing begins at 7:30pm
