Yeah I would. I think this could be fun! Especially like what you said for either feedback or exposure. Basically if it could me grow in some way. Also it would depend on the size of the project and ask. If it would require a large amount of time or money then it becomes more challenging. But if it were a fun way to grow professionally and interact with other tongalers then count me in!

Thanks Caleb! We'd definitely want to make the ask fun and simple. Let us know if there's anything in particular you've been wanting to try or learn :)

I would be down for this! It actually reminds me of what another online agency does.
There's prompts called Flash Creatives at the Talenthouse website that prompts for season-relevant art or fun challenges with a range of illustration, motion and writing. All are awarded purely by exposure, which is great when you have a gallery-based platform. But I think professional critique or some kind of leaderboard could be cool, with cash prizes to the top writers, filmographer or artists.
I think the prompts should have a unique spin and a quick turnaround, making them like exercises in creativity and execution for Tongalers. It could be capturing that summertime feeling in words, illustration, or 6-10 second shorts. Or there could be a newbie competition. Have a filmographer try their hand at animation, or have the seasoned writer grab a camera for their storytelling. Just a thought. :)
