We tried something new this year to gamify our event: an image prompt contest!

We lured in two artists Grace P Fong and Jillian Porter to contribute two images each. Each piece of art was put on a poster with a QR code to enable submission of (a) micro fiction (300words or less) inspired from the art or (b) a “caption” to explain it. Winners of the contest were promised to have their entries posted on this website and a copy of the artist-signed poster (winners elected via an arbitrary selection process that involved the artists’ input, feedback from some of the organizational committee, and perhaps a 1d10 roll or two.)

Everyone who submitted is a winner, since the goal was merely to promote a creative atmosphere. We highlight the poster-award winners and runners-up in separate announcement posts (below links). Yet everyone who submitted can claim bragging rights since the PDF below has the list of all the submissions-i.e., you all have your caption posted on this website!

Thank you to the artists and the creatives who replied!
