Writing Competition: Money Chronicles: A Story Initiative

Principal Foundation has launched the second edition of its short story contest Money Chronicles: A Story Initiative. The national contest, hosted in collaboration with Short Édition and The Center for Fiction, aims to harness the power of storytelling to destigmatize and encourage conversations about money.

Entering the contest is free. 

Adults ages 18 and older in the US can submit stories through the contest website now through October 2, 2024, at 11:59 pm PDT. One winner and up to 20 finalists will be selected by a panel of literary experts including Zakiya Dalila Harris, Casey Parks, Joe Wilkins, and Cecily Wong to have their story shared in story dispensers located in 6 major cities across the country.

The winner will receive $1,000 and each finalist will receive $150.

The winner and finalist stories will be distributed across Principal Foundation’s Short Story Dispensers located at The New York Public Library in New York, Sip & Sonder in Los Angeles, Charlotte Mecklenburg Library in Charlotte, Elliott Bay Book Company in Seattle, Prairie Lights in Iowa City, and a new location for 2024, Politics & Prose in Washington DC.
