The 1st International Digital Storytelling Festival will be held in Zakynthos, Greece September 27-29. Information on the festival is here: https://dstfestival.org/

We hope to see the wide range of story work happening at UMBC represented at the festival. The UMBC Digital Stories Working Group will sponsor a block of submissions (25-30 stories) and cover the entry fees.

Please let me know if you have stories from current or past projects that you would like to see included in the festival. We will need clearance or releases from the storytellers. The official deadline is May 15, however this is flexible.

Specifically, the festival is looking for stories with the following themes:

Culture

Education

Environment

Health

Science and Research

Society

The festival is organized by the International Digital Storytelling group which met at UMBC for the DST2023 conference.

Please contact me if you are interested in participating or if you have any questions.
