Smokin Yogi is looking for aspiring filmmakers and writers to share healing stories of positive potentiality in their "Manure for the Garden" and "Hot Chocolate" contests! Submit a short inspiring story in a written or video form that transforms life's "dung" into nourishment for the garden or send in a soothing, stimulating, nutritious, and delicious story specifically related to help those going through familial challenges and enter for a chance to win cash prizes. Stories must inspire hope and encouragement, fully reflecting the objective of an uplifting message inspired by an unpleasant shift in life.

The deadline for entries is September 28th. Each category accepts written or video formats and has a winning prize of $200 and a presentation at "Shift Happens"! "Shift Happens" is a healing story festival featuring reading and discussing by authors Julie Rappaport, Lee Liberman, and Tasha Liberman about their book, Relational Shifts. There will also be a screening of their demo-pilot of "Abnormally Normal". For more information and to submit entries, please visit our Contest Page.
