SHHRC has recently launched its third annual Storytellers contest, challenging postsecondary students to show Canadians how social sciences and humanities research affects our lives, our world and our future prosperity.
The contest is open to all students, graduate and undergraduate, enrolled at Canadian postsecondary institutions. Their task is to tell the story, in 3 minutes or 300 words, of a SSHRC-funded research project—their own or a professor’s—taking place at their institution. We will select 25 finalists to receive a $3000 cash prize and specialized training in research communications.

We encourage you to spread the word to students, as well as to faculty who may wish to encourage a student to profile their SSHRC-funded research.

For details on this year’s Storytellers challenge, please follow us on Twitter, watch the #SSHRCStorytellers hashtag, and visit the SSHRC website

Don’t hesitate to be in touch with should you have any questions. Please note that participant questions should be addressed to Storytellers@sshrc-crsh.gc.ca.
