Share your Stories

Seriously, what moves you? We want to know. We're telling stories here, and we're looking for more. We are seeking submissions of stories that provoke thought, seek to change paradigms, or document the efforts of those who do. We are in search of stories about positive change, from the broad communities of artists, athletes and activists we admire. And we want them from people like you, people living active, engaged, creative lives.

The details: If you have video (2-4 minutes, QuickTime), photography (8-15 images, with a 200 word description of the project), or essays (250-500 words, plus 2-4 images supporting your story) that address the range of experiences, individuals and points of view we've described above, we're accepting submissions.

Drop off your submission at http://dropbox.yousendit.com/nau-collective . We are sharing new stories each month and if we choose yours we'll license it, and feature it on our site so that we can share it with others. We share the Creative Commons point of view, and want to find ways to broaden the reach of the creative community we value.

We hope this section of our website will grow into a place where stories by and about people we respect and admire are told and shared. Why? The desire to create a lively forum for exchange and dialog, a chance to represent our community, and a love of good stories, told well.
