Want a guaranteed spot in a slam? Pitch your story for "massmouth choice"

[Norah Dooley]

What is "massmouth choice"?

We are always looking for awesome stories and really committed tellers -- regardless of experience.  To that end, massmouth organizers reserve the right to guarantee a maximum of two storytellers a spot on the list at each slam.

Maybe you're traveling a long way to get to a particular slam, maybe you feel really strongly about a certain theme, maybe you've been preparing forever and just wanna get your story out there... Whatever the reason, we want to support you.

A teller CANNOT be 'massmouth choice' if:

1) The teller has won already.

2) The teller has told in more than 3 consecutive slams.

3) The teller has already been selected as 'massmouth choice' that month.

How do you get to be "massmouth choice"?

We have set up a 24/7 voicemail box.  Instructions below.

You MUST send an email first to [e-mail] with:

Please wait to hear back from us. We will call if interested or e-mail you regrets as soon as humanly possible.

IMPORTANT: We close entries 24 hours before each slam and notify those chosen by e-mail and phone.  All decisions are final. We do not reveal who was "chosen" at the show so as not to sway judges or audiences in either direction.
