Calling all story tellers and enthusiasts! Don't miss UVM's first ever Catamount Tales storytelling competition, presented by the UVM Book Nook, Davis Center Art, and the UVM Program Board.

In celebration of UVM Weekend, the theme of this year's event is: the Catamount experience. Selected storytellers will share an original, five-minute story about their time as Catamount, their on-campus experience, or tales of meeting Catamounts away from campus.

Students, families, alumni, and the public are invited to attend this event! 

How to Participate

All UVM students are eligible to participate as storytellers. Interested participants should register upon arrival when doors open at 6PM. When the show starts at 6:30 PM, ten randomly selected storytellers will be invited to take the stage and share their Catamount Tale! Stories will be judged by a panel including Book Nook founder, JP Marton.
