Group-Sponsored Time Lost Contest

Details

Deadline:Jun 20, 2020
Fee:Free

During this time, many things feel like they are on hold. We worry for those who are sick and the elderly. We worry for our kids all the time. But the teens? Do they understand why their actions are being limited? At their age, social interaction ranks at the top of their priorities, and even though there are lots of chat options on the internet, this is the time in their lives that they are stretching their independence. Getting their driver’s license, going to the mall, the football game, the beach, their minimum wage jobs, the movies, first dates…

But here they are stuck in limbo. How are they handling it?

Young At Heart invites you to tell us a story—YA/Teen about Time Lost. It can be related to this specific time or not. Any genre is fine. No adult ratings. Consider your audience 13-18.

An Interesting Tidbit

Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick was so unpopular that it was essentially a lost work until 1930, when it was “rediscovered” by a scholar.
