The non-profit organization Imigra Foundation, based in New York, has just launched the 1st Brazilian Immigrant Stories Contest in the United States: “Unbelievable Stories.”
The initiative aims to celebrate and value the experiences of Brazilian immigrants in the United States, “promoting integration and giving a voice to immigrants through the sharing of their real, funny, unusual, and memorable stories,” explains Kelly Fountoura, founder of the organization. “We believe that these stories not only highlight the resilience and creativity of Brazilian immigrants but also contribute to a greater understanding and appreciation of cultural diversity in the country,” she adds.
Whoever tells the best story will win a prize of $1,000. The second and third place winners will receive $500 and $300, respectively.
The interest in the contest has been significant, so the foundation decided to extend the registration period until November, when the selected stories will be put to public voting.
To participate, the following requirements must be met:
• Residence: Be a Brazilian immigrant residing in the United States.
• Age: Be over 18 years old.
• Story Format: Audio or video telling 1 story between 50 seconds and 3 minutes.
The results will be announced on the official website and social media of the Imigra Foundation.
