TAG! Photo Game

If you’ve been following my Ekphrastic Two challenge, you may remember hints of a second challenge-thingy. During photo submissions for the former, I created a separate folder for a non-committal photo-prompt-thing, open to anyone. Only a handful of you added photos there, but I’ve added 5 more from the ekphrastic challenge. (Think we’re up to 21 at the time of publication.) Then later, I described the general premise of this challenge as being like a game, where creators can tag their writer friends to write for a particular photograph, thereby creating a chain.

That is still the premise.

Rules

1. Using the photos in this folder, find one you like and tag a fellow Vocal creator with the task of writing a story or poem for it. You can tag anyone you like, whether they be a friend or a stranger. You can tag them in comment sections, on Discord, or elsewhere; I don’t mind how the “tagging” happens.
2. Because this is an external folder, it will be easiest if you link the URL and specify the file name to whomever you tag.
3. Say in an author’s note who tagged you and, if it’s relevant, when they tagged you.
4. Give credit to the photographer.
5. I will start the chains by tagging the first five commenters who express interest.
6. There is a soft word maximum of 600 words.

Clarification

• You are encouraged but not obligated to write if you get tagged. Then again, there is no deadline, so it might be fun to try to write for the photo eventually!
• You can use any photo, regardless of who may have written for it already.
• If you get tagged with your own picture, which probably won’t happen, tag your tagger with the same one. 🤪
• The photo should inspire the writing in some way.
• You can edit the photo however you want, as long as you explain what you did, credit the photographer, and name the file so we can see the original.
• Non-AI collaborations are encouraged.
• Yes, you can tag me. If you want. :D
• No prizes. I may send small tips, but nothing official. I encourage tipping! It’s always nice to give and receive little tokens of appreciation.

                         

I’m excited for this and hope to see a lot of participants! My goal with this game is to allow these photos to be seen and enjoyed by more people, and to encourage community. Hopefully it inspires you, too. 💜

I will answer any questions you have!

So…

Ready?

Take your marks!

Come here to find photos: Tag! Photo Game, and please, you're welcome o keep adding more! I won’t be closing the folder after all. *Must be non-AI, artistic, and taken by you.*
