2012 Scholarship Competition: The Art of Storytelling
  • First Prize = $5,000, 2nd Prize = $2,500
  • Hosted by the Next Generation Board of the Korean Cultural Center of Chicago and Sponsored by the Steve Kang Scholarship Fund
  • The Scholarship Competition seeks to promote cultural diversity and supports college/university students by providing a scholarship to offset tuition costs.  This year's competition will focus on the Art of Storytelling.  Storytelling is a form of communication that has been shared in every culture as a means of entertainment, education, and cultural preservation.  Contemporary storytelling draws from personal narrative, political commentary, and evolving cultural norms.  The best stories have the power to captivate, convince, convert, move, motivate, and mold.  Share your story so that your legacy can be preserved.
