These following prompts are to get your creative juice flowing and not mean to be a restrain. You do not need to follow these prompts at all. As long as your entry somewhat related winter, December or Christmas, you will be eligible to be considered. Characters that inspire you whose name or setting connects to the winter theme will also count (ie. Snow White).

1 | Frosty the Snowman

Frosty the Snowman

Was a jolly, happy soul,

With a corncob pipe and a button nose

And two eyes made out of coal.

There must have been some magic

In that old silk hat they found,

For when they put it on his head

He began to dance around.

  Pretend that you and your friends are going to build a life-sized snowperson. What name will you give it? Does your snowperson come to life like Frosty? What makes the magic happen? What personality does it have?  

2 | Winter by Khalid
