“Snow & White” Six Words & a Photo: Conclusion

SWPSC: “Snow & White” & Freestyle Stories — December’s Conclusion

Snow unites with sand — then disappears.

We’re 4 months in since the launch of the Six Word Photo Story Challenge publication! December’s prompt was “Snow & White” and we challenged writers to find photos depicting snow or white with this popular challenge below. Nope — you didn’t need to do a headstand to participate.

This publication had over 19K views over the last 30 days with December’s challenge — the views skyrocketed over the last three days!

Screenshot by author

A big village hug and gratitude to readers and writers for supporting this fun publication that continues to spark joy and creativity.

I reviewed all photo stories, but here are 19 stories that stood out in “Snow & White” and “Freestyle” and wowed me — out of the 110+ stories published over the last 19 days! December Prompt submissions portrayed snow, the moon, fog, seafoam, ocean waves, icicles, frost, coconuts, bunnies, birds, snowy dogs, cats, sheep, flowers, tinsel, houses, boats, a mausoleum, snowflake lights, mannequins, shades of white, and a Florida snowman!

Note: I was overwhelmed with “Snow & White” submissions. I started with selecting six “Snow & White” stories, but as the stories kept coming in, I continued to be awed, so I picked 14. I received only 20+ freestyle stories — and picked 5.

“Snow & White” Challenge Stories

For the December Monthly Challenge: “Snow & White,” check out the latest 25 stories under the “Monthly Challenge” tab and I encourage you to check out all the “Snow & White” archive stories!

Editor’s Picks! 14 stories that wowed “Snow & White”

David Acaster’s Strange Forager, (rare bird) pockett dessert’s Frozen (ice magic) Vidya Sury, Collecting Smiles, Coconuts (food art!) Nicole Anders, Sea Snow (feet fun!) Stephen Reed’s Snow Drifts (joyous blur), Ellie Jacobson ✍🏻’s Brrr (windshield art), Lady Dr. Gabriella Korosi’s Snow Flowers (true survivors) Denise Darby’s Camellias (Louisina snow), L Burton’s Best in Snow, (awwww!) A. Grace’s Dead Horse Point, (scary cliff), Anne Bonfert’s Igloo (Can I play too?), Hollie Petit, Ph.D. Xmas Kitty (cute boots!) Barb Dalton Bold Cold (thin ice!) and Penny Grubb’s Driven Snow (waterproof sheep!)

Freestyle Stories

For the “Freestyle category,” check out the latest stories under the “Freestyle” tab.

Editor’s Picks! 5 stories that wowed “Freestyle”

Olive Wilson, No Access, (bridge splash!) Alexandra Christensen, Eyes (adorable dog) Umme Salma’s, Gorgeous Moon (moon shines), Diana Lotti’s Path (eerie fog), and James Jordan’s Moon (dark side).

Coincidently, these stories that caught my eye could’ve fit into the “Snow & White” challenge but these writers submitted them as “Freestyle.”

Note: This article officially ends December’s “Snow & White” Challenge and no further submissions will be accepted. Stay tuned for the new January Challenge which will be announced on January 4, 2022.

IMPORTANT REMINDER NOTICE!! Please note that this publication will be CLOSED for all Monthly Challenge and Freestyle submissions from Mon, December 20, 2021, until Mon, January 3, 2022.

  • If I receive any submissions during these dates, your submissions will be unread, automatically rejected, and will be returned to your drafts folder.
