Prompt: Flags for Nanowrimo (National Novel Writing Month)

This November we’re looking for you to design a flag for the global event Nanowrimo.

What is Nanowrimo you might ask?

The National Novel Writing Month

The goal in Nanowrimo is to write a 50,000 word novel in a single month. Any genre. Any style. Any form. Any setting. Any subject. Anyone can enter. That’s an average of 1,667 words per day for thirty days. You can read all about it in the wikipedia page, and also on the organisation’s home page.

Specifically, we’d like you to design one of two possible flags.

A participant writer flag.

A victory author flag.

The participant writer flag is for those participating in Nanowrimo. So imagine this flag as one you would fly at your house/on your social media profile etc to declare your intent to say “I’m going to do Nanowrimo this year!” - a declaration of intent and membership. A flag you fly to say you are marching into literary battle as it were.

The participant writer flag would be one you can fly at the start of Nanowrimo if you plan to enter.

Second, a victory author flag is to be flown only by those who have “won” Nanowrimo as it were. One for those who have succeeded in writing an entire novel in a month. One for those to declare their success and pride in what they have done. A flag that also functions as a badge of honour.

The victory author flag is one you can fly at the end of Nanowrimo if you succeed.

There are no colour or design or style limitations on this flag, but keep in mind something important. This is a flag whose use case would very often be digital in nature. More so than many other contests we’ve done. That means some details will get lost in translation in smaller forms etc.

Please read the contest rules in full before submitting. These are the rules that apply to every contest, every month, so they are quite important.

PLEASE Remember the basics - a maximum of ONLY two submissions per entrant. For this contest, that means the following - You can submit

EITHER

ONE (1) participant design and ONE (1) victory design

OR

you can do TWO (2) participant designs

OR

TWO (2) victory designs.

DO NOT show the design ANYWHERE ELSE on the subreddit before the contest is over.

Because this has been asked several times, let’s be clear - you will see all approved entries between 19-27th of November - this is when you can vote on them.

Deadline for submissions is Monday 18th October 2024.

Description

The flag has a dark blue background, symbolizing the vast universe of possibilities the human mind can explore. This blue also represents the depth of thoughts and emotions often accessed during the creative writing process. In the center of the flag, a quill draws an orange line, symbolizing creativity in its purest and most energetic form. As the quill crosses a white line, it signifies the challenge of overcoming the "blank page" – the neutral space where imagination begins to build a narrative. The white line serves as a reminder of every writer's limitless potential and the power to transform ideas into stories that connect and inspire.
