The Mỹ Việt Story Slam is our signature virtual event hosted by Vietnamese Boat People each year. The event provides a platform and an opportunity for storytellers to share their perspective and personal stories around a specific theme. Storytellers have an allotted amount of time to share their stories using their preferred medium and format such as monologues, theatrical performances, music, art, or poetry.

​

Each year, we do an open call for submissions to invite people from all over to submit their stories for the event. A small number is selected based on effectiveness of how the story is told, relevancy to the theme, creativity and originality.  Selected Storytellers are featured in the live event and receive a cash prize and gifts from our event sponsors.
