On Sunday, April 26, Columbia DSL will host the 11th annual Breakthroughs in Storytelling Awards, presented live online. The awards celebrate some of the year’s most innovative forms of digitally enabled narrative and bring together leading voices from across storytelling, media, and culture. It is a great opportunity for students to encounter new ideas, emerging forms, and inspiring creative work.

This year's award presenters are Shari Frilot, Caspar Sonnen, Rita McGrath, and Steve Rosenbaum.

Hosted by the Columbia University School of the Arts' Digital Storytelling Lab.
