The Moth's StorySLAM is a live storytelling competition where participants share personal stories based on a specific theme. Each event features a diverse group of storytellers, who have five minutes to captivate the audience with their tales. Audience members vote for their favorite stories, and winners may have the opportunity to perform at a larger event. The atmosphere is supportive and encouraging, making it a unique platform for sharing experiences and connecting with others through the art of storytelling.
