NOTE: Solvers must be located in the United States, Canada, UK, or Europe to be eligible for rewards.

Everything we do is an expression of who we are and the ideas we have, from an Instagram post, or a presentation, or a club poster, or a cause, or a new business proposal, or a short film made for fun. We want to know more about how you express yourself and the role creativity can play in what matters to you.

Uploads are highly encouraged. You can add photos or mood boards to your response, including images, slides, or links to a Pinterest page.

Rewards: The top 5 solvers will receive $100 each. 20 honorable mentions will receive $25 each.

Deliverables

Tell us how you express yourself and the role creativity can play in what matters to you. Specifically, answer the following in detail:

  1. Your individuality
    1. We know that every person has something unique to offer the world. We want to know what that is for you. Tell us about what you feel makes you special. What sets you apart from your peers? It could be a personality trait or set of experiences you’ve had. Or maybe it’s a talent or skill you’ve acquired. It can be anything, as long as it’s you!
    2. Tell us about a time when that thing came in handy when solving a problem. Could be at work, in your personal life, fixing something around the house, etc. 
    3. Please tell us about a time when you were able to express that unique part of yourself? Could be a presentation you made, an idea you proposed, a photo you took? Set the scene. Who was there? Was it something you did just for yourself? How did expressing that make you feel?
    4. Please upload a photo or create something (a collage, a poem, a piece of art) that represents that unique side of yourself. This can be anything you want.  

  2. Creativity - what does it mean to you
    1. Please tell us what comes to mind when you think about creativity. Please explain the importance of creativity and how you experience in the world.
    2. What are some misconceptions about creativity that you feel people might have?
    3. Please upload a photo of something that represents creativity to you. This can be anything you want: an object, a place, a person, yourself!

  3. Creativity's role in your life
    1. Do you consider yourself to be a creative person? Why or why not?
    2. Can you tell us about the last time you were creative? How long ago was it? What were you doing? How did it make you feel?
    3. Can you tell us about someone who inspires you to be creative and why? Could be someone famous whom you admire or someone you know personally. Maybe they’re creative themselves or maybe the way they approach life makes you feel creative.  
    4. Please upload a photo of something that represents how you feel when you’re being creative. This can be anything you want, an object, a place, a person, yourself!
