The following articles are ones that Amy Winters-Voss feels are outstanding from SUMMER CAMP 2024 Myth Category for the prompt "A myth, urban legend or conspiracy theory believed by many to be true".   The authors of these articles will receive the "Kitsune Approved Quality Myth" badge.   Every event I judge, I am amazed at the creativity and ingenuity of my fellow world builders.   It was a true honor to read these fantastic articles for my shortlist.  

Quality Myth Badge by Amy Winters-Voss

Articles had to be easy to read, have clean formatting, and be inventive and creative.   Effort and uniqueness really drew me to articles. Mysteriousness was a bonus.
