Open Mini Bio
THE CHALLENGE
#1. The Original

The first year, the idea was simple: one picture per participant, to be either the basis or the inspiration for a story of exactly 1000 words. It turned out to be a lot more challenging (and fun!) than anyone expected!

#2. Take Two: Double Prints

In the second go round, participants were allowed to choose from two pictures instead of one, but the word count requirement remained the same!

#3. Third Time's a Charm

In the third installment of the challenge, participants were given pictures that involved the number 3.

#4. The Four Seasons

Participants chose a season, and received a picture based on that.

#5. Elemental

Participant's pictures were based on one of the five elements of Chinese philosophy: earth, water, fire, wood, and metal.

#6. Roll Them Bones

Participant's pictures were based on a number from 1-6, taken from the random roll of a die.

#7. Hi, Roy!

Participant's pictures were based on one of the seven colors of the visible spectrum (aka ROY G. BIV).

#8. Year Ate

Participant's pictures were based on food.

#9. Dressed to the Nines

Participant's pictures were based on fashion/clothing.

#10. A Perfect 10

Participant's pictures will be of something the photographer considered "perfect".

#11. Group 11

Participant's pictures included transition metals of copper, silver, and gold.

#12. The Great Race

Participant's pictures were based on the Chinese zodiac, and pictures featured one of the animal representations of each sign.

#13. Unlucky You

Pictures were based on unlucky or superstitious omens and symbols.

#14. Money (That's What I Want)

Pictures were based on currency and valuables.

#15. Super-Singular

Pictures were based on singular or solitary subjects.

#16. Just Desserts

Pictures are based on sweet treats.
