Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions. We provide the following information as an archive.

About

"You heard the crazy talk (and we paraphrase): "When Mexico sends its people, it doesn't send their best!" "There are some bad hombres and we are going to get them out!" "She's a nasty woman, folks!" "Mexican immigranst are rapists and murderers." If any of this kind of language ever felt even remotely insulting or unfair to you, then here is your chance to talk back! But you can do it better. No insults needed. That's the cheapest currency. Use your clever sense of humor, irony, and truth to match slap in the face with slap in the face with the power of art and literature. Throw in your Jedi-level stories and art in a one-two punch move to prevent the Empire from ever striking back!
