#futurechallenge #ai #web3 #discuss

We are so excited to announce our first-ever challenge on Future!

Running through March 30, the Future Writing Challenge provides an opportunity to share your knowledge, perspective, and rumination about the future with your friends, family, and community.

There is one prompt for this challenge but three ways to win. All winners will receive an exclusive Future badge, bragging rights, a gift to the Forem shop, and more!

Read on for the details.

Our Prompt

Write a letter to friends and family on what to expect with how technology is changing things.

You are welcome to be as broad or specific as you wish as long as your topic is within the scope of what technology touches. We encourage you not to focus on software development specifically, but instead leverage your technical expertise to focus on areas that will impact the friends and family you are writing to.

Additional Prize Categories

For those who like a bit of structure or initial inspiration, we have two additional prize categories for you to consider:

Explain Like I'm Five: Awarded to a submission that conveys their message in simple, fun language that even a five-year-old could understand. Think colorful examples, simple analogies, and an engaging, warm tone that makes the future of technology accessible to our youngest readers.
Ripple Effects: Awarded to a submission that thoughtfully explores how technology is reshaping our culture and social norms. This letter should provide insight into how our shared human experiences—from education and work to dating and community—are evolving in response to technological change, and offer perspective on navigating these shifts.

Judging Criteria and Prizes

All three prompts will be judged on the following:

Style and Presentation
Clarity
Originality

All Participants with a valid submission will receive a completion badge on their Forem profile.
