your wildest sci-fi/fantasy dreams, set free
What is the Jupiter Challenge?
The Jupiter Challenge is a project encouraging writers to go back to the worlds and characters they created in their childhood or early teenage years and use them to inspire new work. What did you want to make when you were thirteen? An adventure about a girl who discovers she’s a vampire princess? A love story that takes place in a space circus? We want you to take those ideas, dust them off, and share them with the world.
When is it?
The challenge will officially start June 1st and end August 1st.
What is the writing criteria?
Entries for the main challenge must be at least 10k words and should be based on an idea you had before you were sixteen. Other than that – throw all rules out the window and go wild!
Who can participate?
People who are old enough to be embarrassed by middle school.
What if I don’t want to do the main challenge but I still want to write/What if I’m an artist instead of a writer?
Never fear! We’re going to be having smaller challenges, activities, and other fun stuff throughout the summer. Also, if we get enough artist interest we could start pairing up artists with writers, big bang style.
All this sounds cool! Where do I sign up?
