2023 Theme, What to Tell and How to Tell Stories:

America is a country of immigrants. It is our diversity that makes our country great. Every immigrant has an interesting story to tell. All of us have a unique perspective that shapes how we see and relate to America. No matter where we have immigrated from, “All Of Us Belong Here!”
A story that tells why and how you, your family, or your friends come to America.
A Story of your or someone’s journey which is an inspiring source of stories.
A story of personal goals that give you, your family, or friends a sense of purpose and fulfillment.
Even if someone thinks their life is boring or ordinary, they still have experiences, thoughts, feelings, and dreams that make who they are and that can be shared with others.
Whether we are considered “successful” or not, we have lots of stories to share, to teach, to learn, and to inspire. After all, “All Of Us Belong Here” in America
Review the video “All Of Us Belong Right Here” which is the inspiration for this year’s theme. (This is for your reference, Not necessary for you to create a music video)
