Grades 4-6: Imagine waking up one morning to find that all technology has suddenly stopped working. Write a story about how your day goes. How do people around you react? What do you do to solve problems, stay entertained and connected with others? How does life change, even if just for a day? Grades 7-9: Imagine a new city is being built from scratch, and you've been chosen to design one part of it. It could be a park, school, library, sports complex, or even a unique neighborhood. Write about what you would create, why it's important to the people who will live there, and how it will shape their lives in the future.

Write a story about how this sudden shift affects a community, a family, or a single individual. What was the event? Implement a Biblical viewpoint. Explore themes like adaptation, connection, creativity, or survival. How do people rebuild their lives? What unexpected challenges or opportunities arise? How does society change when everything slows down? *Please note: Creative writing entries have an early submission deadline. See the current Academic Bowl Guidelines for more information. |
