About the theme
This cycle’s theme is Perspective. Every character, animal, and human being views the world in the different way. How can we reconcile others’ perspectives within our lives—within stories? Good decisions are made with consideration of others, and so should good stories and creations.
Option 1: Text submissions (writing, poetry, written lyrics)
Prompt: Write a story, where the narrator or protagonist, is a traditionally conceived “side character.”
Option 2: Visual media, and Performing arts submissions (videos, drawings, paintings, music, photos)
Prompt: What do side characters see or do?
Odysseus and the Sirens.
