Inspirational Categories
Posted: Sun Jan 04, 2015 6:17 pm
This is based on a challenge originally created for the Ravenclaw Library by prefect Adeliene Cromwell. Later, awards made for the following 7 categories. Since they are not being used, I decided to bring them to HOLLERS.
To earn an award, you must submit one writing piece (poetry, short story, etc.) or one art piece (painting, photograph, etc.) for each of the 10 items listed in the category. You can use both writing or art to complete a single category, but there should be a total of 10 different pieces. You can also combine up to 3 separate categories in one submission. For example, a photograph of a bonfire in a forest clearing satisfies one requirement in the Elemental and On a Walk categories.
Send all writing and artwork to hol.hollers[at]gmail.com. The subject line should be "Inspirational Categories." At the beginning of your e-mail, include the following information:
HOL Name:
Categories Used: (maximum of 3)
After you receive an e-mail reply with your progress on the categories, you are free to post your submissions in your Creative Outlet thread if you desire to share your work. Have fun!
