AAUC is teaming up with Silicon Valley Community Media and Ding Ding TV to host the 3rd Annual Asian American Story Video Contest. $20,000 in prizes and grants will be award to the winners of the Youth and Adult divisions. Entries should be one minute in length and are due next month.
To learn more about the contest, deadline, and past winners, please visit aastories.org.
This year’s theme, “Coming to America,” moves beyond the American Dream clichés. We are looking for the heart of your experience: the specific goals, hardships, or dreams that led you or your family to the United States. In a time when our belonging is often questioned, your voice is a vital act of reclamation.
Ready to compete?
We’re here to help. We are hosting two free online workshops. We will cover:
* Contest Mastery: A deep dive into the 2026 rules and submission details.
* Production Training: Practical tips on how to film and edit your 1-minute video.
* Live Q&A: Get direct answers to your questions from our organizers.
