#Resist! Contest

A project of Ricky's Back Yard Weekly Dump of Arty Goodness (see other related projects).

Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions (December 2017). We provide the following information as an archive.

About

The rules are simple - We want an original unpublished story or visual art piece that signifies the theme to our last anthology of the year. We wanted this theme to sum up all the events of the recent year (or two). We originally were going to call it 'Fucked', but after seeing Roger Waters in concert last night (although, I can't quite put my finger on his political viewpoint when regarding Trump...he is really quite shy about that), the title changed to Resist!

Fees Notice: This project charges fees (or requires purchases) for all submissions.
