STAGE TWO - THE BATTLEZONE/WARZONE

STAGE TWO HAS BEGUN!


We call this stage 'THE BATTLES/WAR ZONE' because in this stage, at this moment, the contestants are in a fighting ring against each other where ONLY ONE gets out alive! Isn't that exciting?!

Okay. So, here, the contestants will be pitched against each other and given a theme. For example 097 Selena Gomez VS 076 Antonio could be paired to verse against each other. And, according to the theme, they both create your stories. At the end of the day, the wonderful Judges will analyze both stories and pick between the two stories which one to give their votes to. Let's say Judge Nadia and Judge Umar give 097 Selena Gomez their votes and the remaining Judges, Judge Giwa, Judge Nina and Judge Olaitan give their votes to 076 Antonio, then having that Antonio has the higher votes, he makes it into the GREEN LINE.🟢 097 Selena Gomez, on the other hand, the losing opponent, will unfortunately be thrown into the RED LINE.🔴 Kapish?

Needless to say, in recent times, we have further made some ADJUSTMENTS to the Battles Stage. Contestants can now earn ESCAPE CARDS or DOOM CARDS.

An ESCAPE CARD is given on MERIT. In a situation like 097 Selena Gomez VS 076 Antonio where Antonio won, sending Selena Gomez to the Red Line may look unfair because her story was just mind-blowingly good and her luck was tested because she was paired with an opponent who, according to Judges' majority opinion, had a better story. In this case, Selena Gomez can get an ESCAPE CARD if and only if ALL THE JUDGES - every single one of them - collectively agree that she deserves the green line and hence, should be given the ESCAPE CARD.

However, the DOOM CARD is the opposite - a card every contestant should be terrified of. It's the opposite of an Escape Card. In a situation like 097 Selena Gomez VS 076 Antonio, for example, even though Antonio won, the Judges may say that they were not impressed by the story and don't think they deserve to be in the Green Line. As per Antonio only won not because their story was good, but that it wasn't as bad as their opponent's story. If ALL THE JUDGES can collectively agree on this opinion, then a DOOM CARD will be issued to the contestant, irrespective of their victory in the Battles.

At the end of this stage, FOUR CONTESTANTS WILL BE EVICTED.

~ THEME: Open Imagination (Audio-visual).
Following the Open Imagination theme, we usually come with a twist. The contestants are made to use any of the given Five Senses to write on and express themselves as artistically and creatively as they can with their words and their storytelling. It could be a picture(visual), a sound (audio), a smell, a feeling or touch or even a taste! Depending on what they are given!

~ PROMPT FOR THEME: 'It calls me' Musical scene from the Disney Animation called Moana. (Check Media at the top of this chapter for the video).

~ THEME/PROMPT ELABORATION:
You are expected to write a short story using your audio-visual abilities and observation skills. It doesn't need to link to the actual story of Moana. You can create a completely new story, a completely new world, a completely new meaning to the scene, and to the song in the scene, in a way that still somehow connects to the visuals of the scene and the song (the audio). This stage will test your ability to think outside the box and be creative. Let's see what you've got! And don't take it easy on your opponent!

~ GENRE: None. We want to give the contestants a wide variety of genres so as not to limit their creativity and imagination process.

~ WORD COUNT: 500 to 1200 words.

~ DURATION FOR STAGE TWO: 13 Days (One week and six days).

THE GENERAL SCHEDULE WILL BE UPLOADED IN THE NEXT CHAPTER.
