" My Pandemic Story " : The first writing contest at the initiative of the online media Worldcrunch, Panodyssey and the European consortium CREA

It's been three years since the Coronavirus pandemic and its professional, social and sanitary disturbances that we now know well came into our lives

 

These transformations have had many consequences, sometimes positive, and sometimes painful; sometimes visible and sometimes not. Right now, we can take a step back and tell them.  

The generalist English-speaking online media Worldcrunch is launching its first online writing contest around the pandemic theme. The idea of this writing contest is to write about your stories and sometimes painful life experiences in order to share and probably contribute to helping others. This writing contest is open to all audiences. The authors can participate by publishing one or multiple texts in French or English.

 

1. What are the prizes and the themes for this writing contest?

Worldcrunch is inviting you to write an original and personal text about your life experience during the 2020 pandemic. Your story facing the pandemic. 

Your intimate and personal testimony about this particular period. The proposed content should be original (in the form of a text, image, audio if technically possible), written using the first person and not exceeding 600 words. 

 Prize of the readers

The readers decide! The most read text, the most liked text, the most collaborative, commented and shared on social media wil get the ultimate reward.

👉 To participate, you just have to publish your texts in one of your Creative Rooms, wether existing or a new one. 

A Creative Room is a publishing space belonging to an author. It's recommended to take care of its presentation, with a nice image and a clear description.

If you choose to be in a collaborative project - and we encourage this kind of experience - it's essential to carefully precise the role of each contributor in your project after inviting the different contributors to become Panodyssey editors in this text. For example, you can indicate the roles at the top of your post, in the format shown below:

My text is the result of a collaboration 

Paule Veber - Main author - wrote a story called Abundance. Published here. 

Maurice Veber, grandfather of Paule and accomplished artist, illustrated the story of his grand-daughter with an original illustration that you can admire under the story. 

Jean-Bernard Ravel, Paule's friend and passionate by music, recorded the text with his voice to make an audio podcast, that you can listen to here.
