VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITE THEME HERE!

EVENT DATE VOTING

The poll is now open to vote on our event dates. The poll will be open from now until July 2nd. If you are considering participating, it helps if you’d take a minute to fill this poll out - having a good survey of when the best time to hold this week is great for the overall majority and it helps with being able to manage the week.

THEME SUGGESTIONS WANTED

While that poll is open, we can also begin choosing our new theme. For this type of event, there will be a given a theme, or overarching idea, and once the theme is chosen we’ll pick seven more specific prompts (one for each day) to serve as inspiration for those fanworks. 

Before we can suggest and vote on our seven prompts, we’ll need to determine our theme, and that’s where you come in! The ask and submission boxes are now open, and will remain open for theme suggestions until July 2nd. If you have a suggestion for a theme, please send an ask between now and July 2, and we will include it in a list of potential themes to vote on starting July 3. The best theme suggestions will be fairly general, because remember we will need to break that idea down further into seven subcategories as our next step. If you have any questions about what a theme is or how to submit, please check out the FAQ, and/or send us a message.

Anyone can submit theme suggestions, and once our suggestions close, everyone will be allowed to vote (once) for their top 3 choices to determine the most popular idea. Please, please, please spread the word that theme suggestions are now open! The goal is to have our theme and prompts decided by July 24th, which will give us 2-4 full weeks of prep, depending on the event dates chosen. 

While you are free to submit any theme suggestion you like, no harmful/offensive/discriminatory suggestions will be posted. If you are unsure if your suggestion is appropriate, please feel free to ask.

If you haven’t participated in theme suggesting before, the protocol is fairly simple. Just submit your suggestion(s) to the submission box (if you have a longer list, long explanation, or link, this is recommended), or in the ask box (anon is on, so if you don’t have a tumblr account you can still participate).

When posting submissions for voting on July 3rdd, URLs will not be included, however the winning theme will be credited after voting closes (unless you request otherwise).

Please note, if you have any questions about the theme concept, what a theme is, if your theme is appropriate, etc., ask us. In past events that we’ve managed, we have received many comments that people were unclear on this aspect of the event, and we’ll be more than happy to talk to you about it!
