《Rewind The Classics 2022》Prompt

Advertisement

Take a well-known story, be it a fairy tale, fable, myth, epic, legend, classic novel, play, ballet...anything that might be considered a 'classic story' and put an unexpected creative spin on it.

We accept stories from any cultural background, it just has to be something that most people would be familiar with and can recognize.

✪ Please such as Harry Potter.

"Classics are stories written over that stand the test of time as works of high literary merit and artistic qualities. Classics are universally appealing to readers and their themes endure and resonate in contemporary society. Classics are also traditionally accepted as influential in shaping culture."

We are looking for retellings that combine well-known characters and storylines with unexpected elements. Blow our minds with your creativity!

In this contest, we allow your imagination to run wild, so you aren't bound by a single prompt. However, we understand the difficulty in choosing a concept so we have come up with a few examples to illustrate what we mean by "unexpected." You're welcome to use any of these examples if one appeals to you or you can create a brand new idea.

✿ Elizabeth in Pride and Prejudice going to a ball in a... submarine
