Thanks to a generous donation from an anonymous storyteller we have been able to create a new prize at Young Storyteller of the Year 2010: The People's Prize (£50 in cash). This will be awarded by the audience, voting during the day for the storyteller they like most. The stewards will count the audience's votes while the judges are making their decisions. Will audience and judges agree?
