The Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage in partnership with ePals/Cricket Media is celebrating their 3rd annual Global Folklorist Challenge. The Challenge invites kids ages 8-18 to interview a tradition bearer in their community, create a short video, slide set or audio podcast and share the tradition. There are prizes for the best entry, and all entries are added to an interactive world map. The Challenge is a great opportunity for kids or groups to do at home or in after school settings. There are extensive resources available for teacher/mentor/leaders and kids/participants to get started on the Challenge. Submission deadline is November 30th. Check out the 2016 Global Folklorist Challenge.
