The Digital Storytelling Context has been paused in 2023. Check back next year!
The International Education Week Digital Storytelling Contest is open to all Miami University students. Students often report that international and intercultural experiences can be transformative. This digital storytelling contest is one way to demonstrate that transformation. For this contest, you are to submit a video that combines the art of telling a story with visual images and an audio soundtrack that answers the following question: How have your cultural interactions on campus, abroad, or in the United States re-defined your world views? How have they changed you or the way you see the world?

Students can submit their video for this contest by sharing a YouTube link in the form submission below. Video duration should be a maximum of 5 minutes.
Students must use royalty free music in their video, and if they need Miami University Global Initiatives to purchase music for them, they can email Karla Guinigundo at guinigkm@MiamiOH.edu. Karla will respond with two subscription websites that students can explore. Select a music choice, and Global Initiatives will download the file for you.
Students may submit one digital storytelling entry each of no more than 5 minutes.
Digital Stories should be appropriate for public viewing and reflect Miami’s values and code of conduct. The following are prohibited and may be cause for disqualification:
Before you start your digital story, determine your main message and goal. Then, develop your story, keeping in mind your audience and what you’d like to convey to them.
Criteria inspired by the Seven Elements of Digital Storytelling developed by The Center for Digital Storytelling (CDS) in Berkeley, California.
One $500 scholarship will be awarded for the winning digital story (winner must be a currently-enrolled Miami student)
