RULES ETC.: Storytellers will have 7 minutes to tell a true, personal funny story on the theme "testy, testy!": Think: Tests of all kinds, be it in school, life, the school of hard knocks (the streets); being testy/cranky or dealing with a grouchy, testy person; or whatever else occurs to you when you hear those words. No notes or props are allowed. The Judges' funniest will be announced at the end of the night and will receive a $150 Cash Prize. Theaudience will also select its funniest. Both winners go on to compete in the Story League ALL-STARS Tournament 10 on Monday, November 24 at U Street Music Hall, where the prize jumps to $300! And the winners will also be featured on our podcast, Story League WINNERS (https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/story-league-winners/id789423889?mt=2).

Our 3 expert judges will consider all story idea submissions and decide which stories they most wish to hear. You will be notified by Friday, September 12, whether you are guaranteed to go on.

Also: 2 storytellers will be selected randomly at the contest.

Pre-selected storytellers will do a half-hour phone coaching session with a Story League Legend (http://www.storyleague.org/legends).
