“Backwards” Creative Prompt 2025

Our only annual competition is back and we want you to join us! Creative Prompt is a participatory, inclusive creativity event!

Open to writers, musicians, and visual artists of all kinds. This year we are doing it “backwards!” Typically, writers submit their written pieces and the artists are tasked with creating a piece based on the written words. This year, we are letting the artists set the stage. Artists must submit a piece of art in any medium on any subject. They will have one month to submit. Then on the same day, writers that have registered, will receive an emailed photograph of the art and then have 30 days to write a piece interpreting the art. The resulting artwork is then displayed alongside the written pieces.
