Environmental (In)justice in Mni Sóta Maḳoce is a storytelling contest that seeks to highlight and uplift voices from communities across Mni Sóta Maḳoce (Minnesota) who have been affected by climate change and environmental injustice. 

We are seeking narratives that speak to the harsh realities of environmental injustice as well as ones that imagine a more environmentally just future. 

Our main goal is to honor as many voices and forms of storytelling as possible.  As such, we are open to many formats and genres, including fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry, and audio and visual formats. 

We hope you will share your story.

This storytelling contest was created in partnership with the Saint Paul Almanac, the University of St. Thomas Sustainable Communities Partnership (SCP), and contest Curators Brad Hagen and Said Shaiye.
