yes they are acceptable, as long as there are photos and they would still need to show their creative process and why they wrote the piece. we have had tons of poetry. what instilled them, since this is a "vision quest." should we clarify that in the contest post? we did put creative process, is there something that would assist those who may just want to write? I know I am a bit intimidated myself because I am more of a writer than a visual artist too. @cabelindsay thoughts?

I'll be looking for updates, but will definitely include the contest. Today's contest post won't be going live for another 8-9 hours so there's time for updates.

Hi @moneyinfant we added short stories and I’m asking to add poetry too. Its an “example”, the contest is quite relaxed and meant to be fun. An exploration of what we can do, even outside our norm. :)

Yes, thank you, the written works are welcomed here for sure. I've added "short stories" as a note under The Invitation:

Paintings, short stories, songs, and videos are good examples.

Hi @cabelindsay can we add poetry too? :)

Interpretive dance, mime, shadow puppetry...

My little guy. Shadow puppet show last week 😂

Yes. Yes to all of this. I just want to keep the wording succinct. Maybe there's another set of catch-all phrases that will clarify.

I was just in a silly mood. I think you have done a fine job encompassing all avenues of expression.
