Hey!! I came across this article today, that says that NASA actually RECORDED SOUND IN SPACE which I thought was super awesome. So, basically, in this contest your prompt is to listen to the "song of Earth" and write something inspired by it!! I thought it was really beautiful so hopefully you enjoy!! And please, try to keep your works under 1000 words but if you go a little over it's alright :)

And here's the article if anyone's interested ---->

AND you should also check out some other recordings from space!! There's a couple more for Jupiter, Saturn, the Sun (that one's pretty cool too), and more! They should be pretty easy to find on the internet if you just look for 'sounds of space'. And if you're more inspired by one of those sounds, feel free to use that instead :)

Hi!:) I came across some illustrations by a Korean artist today and thought it might be nice to create a contest with the theme Love - I was hoping to make this contest into something like a scrapbook...one which you may all want to look back sometime!

Here is an animated short film made by the artist showcasing some of her illustrations:

For the contest, feel free to write a sentence or a short paragraph around the theme, or you can submit a sketch or a simple doodle about your thoughts too! Any kind of love is ok! If you would like to write/draw about family love or love for a much treasured toy, I would love to hear about it as well!

Below are some links which I bumped into earlier today - I hope they will help with your writing/doodling!

This one shows a kickstarter project which the artist is funding for her art book publication:

The following one shows some of the artist's selected drawings featured in a Korean magazine:

And this last one shows a heartwarming portfolio of the artist's illustrations and projects:

I'm not sure if you would all like this contest...but I hope you will! :')​​

I saw the above cover photo this afternoon...I think it would be nice to use the idea for a contest! Feel free to pick any word (or words!) and create your own special mini story/definition around it using each letter - you can also write anything which you feel strongly about or even create a short story around it (but make sure the story is related to the word(s) you choose and remember to start each sentence with the letters in the word(s)!)

So for instance if you were to submit an entry for the word Fear, you can choose to type it this way:

Forget

Everything

And

Run

...or you could write a mini story about the word Fear as well!

For a moment she felt the weight of the world crash down.

Eve held her breath

And

Ran.

I hope you'll find it fun!:)

This is a slight variation of the Create Your Own Writer's Quote 1, 2,& 3 contest.

Create your own quote on Dreams. Make it genuine and inspirational.

Note:If you wish to do more than one quote, add it to your existing entry instead of submitting multiple ones.

Have fun creating!
