How well can you tell a story?

Does your best story shine with PURPOSE, IMPACT, and DELIVERY?

Then showcase your speaking skills in NSA Pittsburgh’s Last Story Standing contest and compete to be named our Chapter Champion!

It’s easy! Just record a basic, unedited video of you telling your best story of 5 minutes or less and send it in with the entry fee by February 15. Record it at home, in your office, wherever you prefer. The important thing is the story and how you tell it!

The winner will be selected by a panel of three elite Pittsburgh speakers:

The winner gets to tell their story at the March 15 chapter meeting and a professional video recording of it for their own promotion. They also receive personal coaching from an NSA mentor for Last Story Standing regionals in the spring, and a chance to retell their story live on the main stage at NSA INFLUENCE this summer!

All entries will receive helpful evaluations and professional feedback to make their storytelling even sharper.

Entry fee: $50
Proceeds from the contest will be used to cover the NSA Pittsburgh Chapter Champion’s entrance fee for the regional competition.
