‘Genius in a Bottle’ Prompted Writing Challenge

It’s Natural to Wonder

GiaB writing prompt #2

Shimmering, dancing Northern lights weave the night sky. Just as you weave mine.

It’s no wonder writers can describe the most ethereal of worlds, conjured from mere imagination. The ability to do the seemingly impossible is explained when we take in the magic of the natural world that created them.

The Challenge

We invite writers to produce a piece of poetry, fiction or non-fiction on the topic of The Natural Wonders of the World.

Just to clarify, the responses should specifically address one or more of the following: Mount Everest, Great Barrier Reef, Victoria Falls, Paricutin Volcano, Grand Canyon, and/or Aurora Borealis.

The Guidelines

We cannot publish pieces or reward writers who self publish their responses or publish their responses at another publication, so those responses have to remain external to the challenge. Only pieces submitted to ‘Genius in a Bottle’ will be considered for the challenge. If inviting other writers from outside the publication, please ensure they are aware of this.

Poetry is to be limited to 30 lines but can be in any style. Fiction and non-fiction submissions are to be capped at 750 words.

Please refer to the prompt in the subtitle. Feel free to copy this as a template: GiaB prompt # [insert prompt number and theme here].

When submitting, please ensure that one of the 5 tags is GiaBprompt. Please ensure a second tag is Poetry, Fiction, or Non-fiction, as appropriate.

We would like to become exposed to writers and pieces that you have enjoyed in all of Medium. Please tag up to ten writers whose pieces you have enjoyed recently, or who you feel may enjoy participating in this challenge.

For further information pertaining to the challenge, please refer to the rules and guidelines.

And away we go. We look forward to enjoying the paradise of the written word with you all.
