The_Earth_seen_from_Apollo_17Throughout so much of science fiction, one fact that rings true is humanity’s ability to endure through the ages, regardless of the challenges they face. In this creative challenge, Cam’s looking to the future and needs your help picturing what that looks like.

We want your best representation of a hopeful future for humanity. “A humanity surviving on geological timescales.” Sort of science-fiction-y, but feel free to use your best interpretation of the theme! For this challenge, we’re open to whichever artistic form you’d like to submit, be it visual art, prose, or some other creative medium.

Send your submissions to [email protected], with the subject line “Humanity’s Future.” Please be sure to include the screen name you’d like us to use on air should your submission win, and review the file formats below that we can accept. Up for grabs is this set of Conspiracy Magic: the Gathering cards!

We’ll run this creative challenge until the end of Cam’s shift at 10am PST.

~~~~~~

Update: In order to help us out and ensure we can include your submissions on the blog, please use the following file formats to submit your entries….

Visual Art: PNG, JPG
Poetry/Prose: TXT, Markdown, or included in the text of your email
Video: MP4 (preferred), MOV

We’ll try to include your submission if it’s in a different format, but we can’t make any guarantees. Thanks!
