ANNUAL GIVING DAY 31 MAY 2023

In May 2023 Storyfest will be holding their annual Giving Day to support the further growth and development of Storyfest. We think every child deserves the opportunity to fall in love with reading. Please help us nurture a love of storytelling.

Expose more children—especially children from regional and remote areas—to the magic of stories and reading.

01

Expand First Nations programming opportunities.

02

Find new ways to tell stories, capture audiences and immerse young people in the magic of storytelling.

03

Celebrate young voices by offering opportunities to publish young writers’ work.

04

storyfest.com.au / 30

Open the programming up to a wider community audience and make the festival more accessible.
