About this challenge
What are you most passionate about? Why do people follow you, read your stories, or want to hear what you have to say?
Whether it's at-home sustainability hacks, recipe development, or being the authority on all things ice hockey, tell us what brings you true fulfillment and how you could monetize that passion in a perfect world.
If you're a fitness expert, maybe your membership business includes access to an exclusive 25-day workout program and some of your favorite workout bands. If you're more of a home cook, maybe your membership comes in the form of a weekly recipe sent directly to your followers' inboxes. Whatever it may be, dream big and tell us why people should support your passion. We're partnering with Memberful for this Challenge—a tool that allows creators, like you, to earn from your audiences through membership software.
Learn more about how Memberful can help you create a reliable, recurring revenue through membership and enter the Members-Only Challenge to make it a reality!

Travel Snaps Challenge Winners
Travel changes us — if we let its lessons in. It’s possible to wander the world, even to take pictures, with our eyes as good as closed, never opening to the new self that a new place might make of us. So many of the entries to our Travel Snaps challenge were by creators who really wanted to look at the world, and themselves, anew. They were all inspiring to read — and to see, because photography was an important part of this competition. To us, the ‘quality’ of the photographs wasn’t the point; it was that these images were yours. It was a reminder of how much more that can mean — certainly when it comes to personal essays — than widely available or AI images. We really loved seeing these snaps.

Poemosaurus Rex Challenge Winners
Hard to conceive, now, how extraordinary it would have been to find the bones of those terrible lizards in the earth — in a time before humans had conceived of anything other than a Great Chain of Being, a static creation. Yet long after Darwin they still have a hold over us, these creatures which are the ancestors of sparrows and seagulls. All hail the dinosaur! They are at once real and mythic, objects of science and objects of wonder, exhibitions in museums and children’s toys. No wonder Vocal Creators responded with such a variety of work to our Poemosaurus prompt.

Just a Minute Challenge Winners
Thanks again to Vocal Creator, Breezy, for suggesting the Just a Minute Challenge — one which you all interpreted in a wonderful variety of ways. Sometimes a minute can feel like an eternity, sometimes it can pass in the blink of an eye… to describe the passing of sixty seconds is no simple matter.
