𝔾𝕌𝕀𝔻𝔼𝕃𝕀ℕ𝔼𝕊 Let’s cover the basics first. A month is made up of four weeks, and a rainbow, on the other hand, is made up of seven different colors. All clear, class? *wink wink*

That’s why we’re proposing a contest divided in four different rounds, each covering a specific topic to be related to 𝕝𝕠𝕧𝕖 and 𝕝𝕘𝕓𝕥𝕢+.

We will post the instructions for the first round once 7 people join

We will post the instructions for the first round once 7 people join (so, shout this out, pretty please? 🥺🥺): therefore, we’ll communicate a color to each of you, which must be kept as reference/background images and cover of your submitted story/poem for the whole of the contest.

𝙏𝙖𝙡𝙚𝙨 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙗𝙚 𝙨𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙧𝙚𝙙, thus, by seven of you, all representing one determined color of the rainbow.

Hence, by round four, two people will be left, and only one of them will be declared the winner.

ℝ𝕆𝕌ℕ𝔻𝕊: 𝔾𝔼ℕ𝔼ℝ𝔸𝕃 𝕆𝕍𝔼ℝ𝕍𝕀𝔼𝕎 This is for you to have a clear idea of how the contest phases will be laid out, planned and proposed. As we’ve mentioned before, the contest will be divided in four different rounds:

1. 𝔽𝕆𝕃𝕂𝕃𝕆ℝ𝔼 = write a 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 including some folklore/fantastical/mystical elements or characters

1. 𝔽𝕆𝕃𝕂𝕃𝕆ℝ𝔼 = write a 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 including some folklore/fantastical/mystical elements or characters, such as a medieval/mythological setting, Celtic/Greek/Arab culture, depending on your fancies and personal knowledge too, and so on.

Bonus points, being it all about folklore, if you lay out and write your short story as if it were a myth, legend, or fairytale;

If you plan on writing a very short fixed form, such as an haiku, please write more sets of haikus (of whatever other fixed form you have chosen), unless you are highly confident you can portray the whole topic in just three lines.

3. 𝕄𝔼ℂℍ𝔸ℕ𝕀ℂ𝕊 = Write a 𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐮𝐞 between two or more characters, set in a steampunk/fantasy/futuristic universe.

3. 𝕄𝔼ℂℍ𝔸ℕ𝕀ℂ𝕊 = Write a 𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐮𝐞 between two or more characters, set in a steampunk/fantasy/futuristic universe. This time, your task is to portray inclusivity in a distant or alternative future/reality. How do you think things would be?

We decided to spice things up a bit by expressly requesting a fantasy/sci-fi setting for your dialogue out of various reasons:

- and then, in recent times, stereotypes and prejudices have worn off more exactly thanks to fantasy authors and fantasy books (just think about the Shadow And Bone universe).

4. 𝕎𝕀ℕ𝔻 = As wind is free, so will your creativity be in this last round. You’ll be able to write a free form about your own way of seeing love and gender.

Of course, whether you’re heterosexual and/or cisgender, keep in mind that this is an lgbtq+ contest, so strive just the same to directly link your piece to the lgbtq+ values of inclusivity too.

LITTLE TIP: don’t stress too much about all the four phases now. After enough people have joined in, we’ll make a post that is more specific about the criterias and rules you need to follow for each piece you will be asked to submit.
