Theme for 2023

Serendipity - The importance of the unexpected.

Your work must highlight the importance of unexpected things in life. In the middle of all the planned and structured activities, unexpected and unplanned moments can bring about amazing experiences. These surprises can create new connections and opportunities that you might not have found if everything went according to plan. The great thing about serendipity is that it can break the monotony of everyday life, bringing in fresh perspectives, new relationships, and exciting possibilities. You can use this theme in a range of genres like comedy, motivation, horror or whichever you are best at. Your work will be judged on the uniqueness of your idea and its execution.
