Yorkton Story Slam is a program presented through the partnership of the Parkland Writers Alliance, the Yorkton Public Library and the Yorkton Arts Council since 2016.
This event is a story telling competition and will be held on Tuesday, October 14, 2025, 7:00 pm at the Yorkton Public Library.
Each session consists of 10 writers presenting their stories. All stories presented must

Authors will each have five minutes to read or tell their stories. After 5 minutes, a one point penalty will be issued. After 7 minutes, the author will be gonged and asked to leave the podium.
There is no theme! However, since all ages are welcome, your story must be family friendly.
Stories will be judged by a panel of 5 local celebrity judges. Marks will be issued out of 10 for each story. The highest and lowest marks will be knocked off with the remaining 3 marks added together for the final mark.
