About the Contest

This contest will help the community remember and re-envision the GI physical space while we鈥檙e all sadly separated from it. Contest entries will seek to recapture feelings, visuals, or stories about the goingson, memories, or longings for the building we鈥檙e locked out of. These can be serious, funny, contemplative, research-amped, meme-y鈥攚hatever you want to express.

Submissions are welcome from a number of four major categories, including: words (stories, poems, etc); images (photos with small captions or stories, drawings, paintings, etc.); videos (talking-head vlogs, spoken- word, animations, music slideshow, etc.); and game stuff (designed for, stemming from, or produced-within a game...e.g. The Sims, Animal Crossing, etc).

Contestants will choose the category they believe best fits their submission via Google Forms. Submissions will be anonymized until prizes are awarded.

聽Due August 5th
