Calling all Kansans to be Story Chasers
Join the movement of ideas and enter to win a prize. Here’s how: Pop up at a Kansas event, snap a pic, and post your micro-story on Instagram. All you need to be an HK Story Chaser is a smartphone!
Story Chasers like to do something different, try something new, meet people, take pics, and share these moments on social media. Your flash stories from the state fair, a rowing competition, birdwatching hike, food truck or fall festival, are just the thing to update the vision of what it means to be living in Kansas in the 21st century. Story Chasers help spark new conversations and lead the movement of ideas spreading across the state.
Ready to get started?
- Attend an event in Kansas
- Snap a photo and share a story about the event on your own Instagram feed. Who did you talk to? What did you learn? Please, no photos of kids under 18.
- Tag @humanitieskansas in your post
- Use the hashtag #storychasershk
Each person who posts a Story Chasers story between September 1 and September 30 will be entered into a drawing to win a $10 gift card from Freddy’s and a Kansas field guide notebook. Plus, the first 20 people to post Story Chasers stories will receive a free Story Chasers t-shirt.
Need some inspiration? Here’s a sample Story Chasers post with a micro-story:
