Seven storytellers will have 7 minutes to tell a true personal story about an "ex." No notes or props are allowed. The Judges' favorite will be announced at the end of the night and will receive a $150 Cash Prize.
 
The audience will also select its favorite. Both winners go on to compete in a Story League Tournament where the prize jumps to $300! And the winners will also be featured on our podcast, " Story League WINNERS "
