*Tell Us Something Announces Call for Storytellers: "Power of Place"*

*MISSOULA, MT* — Tell Us Something, the beloved local storytelling series,
is officially seeking storytellers for its upcoming live event. The theme
for the showcase is *"Power of Place,"* inviting community members to share
personal, true stories about the locations that have shaped, challenged, or
defined them.

Whether it’s a childhood home, a vast wilderness, a bustling city street,
or a quiet corner of the world that changed everything, Tell Us Something
wants to hear how a specific geography has impacted your life.

“Place is more than just a coordinate on a map,” says Marc Moss,
Executive Director
of Tell Us Something. “It’s the backdrop to our most formative moments. We
are looking for stories that explore that deep connection—how where we are
influences who we become.”
*Submission Details & Deadlines*

Aspiring storytellers must submit their pitches by *May 21, 2026*. Selected
