Here are our Context categories for submissions:
Give it a Try
This is a creative prompt designed to be for anyone to try. There are two categories for September submissions to choose from.
1. Blackout Poem: Create a poem from an existing piece of writing by crossing out words. The remaining words can be read as a poem. Click here for an example
2. Animal Combos: Either visually create or describe through writing about a new animal which is the combination of two animals. We'd like to hear why you chose the animals you did and what special abilities your combo animal has. Click here for an example.
Writing
We accept all kinds of writing but nothing more than 2000 words.
Showcase
We'd like to see your work but are equally interested in the "story behind the story." What inspired you to create it, and what obstacles or surprises did you encounter on the way? Please provide a photo(s) of your creation with a narrative of @300 words.
Creative Combos
This category is up to you. Surprise and delight us! Have you combined media in an unusual way? Have you used a new technique which resulted in unexpected outcomes? Did one piece of art inspire another?
Cover Art
The 4 quadrant cover art displayed out of sequence represents our desire for Context to be a place for thinking outside the box. Do you have an image that could support this framework? We'd love to see it!
