Creative Summer Traditions: A Spectacle to Behold!

This year I had the honour of judging a prompt for summer camp! I love writing and reading traditions, because it allows me to explore a world through the lens of the people living there. Needless to say, I was ecstatic when I heard the prompt itself and of course, I answered it too!

Somewhere in your world describe a popular summer tradition that involves art and creativity.

— Janet & Dimi

All 266 people participating for this prompt certainly haven't made it easy for me to pick a winner. So many amazing articles and creative answers, it was an absolute joy for me to read. As for my judging, I had a just two premises that I'd like to see in an article. First, the concept; I love to read unique traditions, but I suppose that goes without saying. However, I also like current-day traditions with an interesting twist that makes it your own. Second, the formatting; I still need to read the article, y'know. * wink wink * Reading a wall of text makes it too hard and I'll skip over things more easily. Just a couple paragraphs, headers and an image is enough for me to enjoy the article. CSS wizardry isn't needed, but it certainly adds a flair.
