Is Story of the Month a Contest? #

No, it’s not a contest. It’s a celebration.

Our Story of the Month isn’t about winners and losers. It’s about spotlighting a story that moved us, resonated deeply, or captured a piece of the human experience in a powerful way. Whether your story is chosen or not, you’re part of something meaningful because every submission contributes to our collective memory.

Selections are made by the Story Guardians at The Firing Line (our Substack publication), and we highlight chosen stories on a dedicated page. Some may inspire a custom anthem. Others may lead to a conversation or an optional interview, if you’re comfortable.

But here’s the truth: everyone who shares is already part of the legacy. Story of the Month simply helps us shine a light, so more people can see what you’ve carried, survived, and preserved.
