How to enter

For each prompt, create something in any medium that relates to the prompt in any way (worldbuilding, art, poetry...). Then, insert your creation in a generic article and submit it using the panel on the right side of the article editor.   Answer at least 13 prompts, and you'll get the badge!  

Rules

  • Articles must be submitted before the closing time to be eligible (the challenge will close during the World Anvil livestream on October 28th).
  • You may only submit one article per prompt (this does not mean one article per world, in cases where multiple authors work on a single world).
  • For writing-based entries, there is no minimum or maximum wordcount. For other entries, there isn't any limitation either.
  • Submit all of your articles by October 28th, or they will not be counted for the participation badge.
  • As always, World Anvil claims no ownership over your original work.

Other information

  • All your submissions must be generic articles. If you submit non-written content, embed the content into your submission (learn how to use and embed images).
  • You can answer multiple prompts with a single submission, but you will only get the badge if you submit 13 separate articles.
  • If you're not sure if your idea fits a prompt, the answer is probably yes! The goal of the event is to challenge yourself, so go forth and worldbuild anything inspired by these prompts!
