This competition invites you to write a letter—but not just any letter. This is a chance to pour out the thoughts and feelings you’ve kept close, the ones that live in the quiet spaces of your mind and heart. Maybe it’s something you’ve wanted to tell someone but couldn’t find the right words. Maybe it’s a message for yourself, or for someone you’ve never been able to fully reach. It could be something that weighs on you, that you feel ready to release here, where it can finally breathe. 

Let this letter be a place for honesty, for vulnerability, for things you may never say aloud. It can be a message of love, hope, frustration, or longing. There’s no right way to express what’s in your heart—simply let your words flow freely, without judgment or expectation.

I am looking forward to read your letters, to see the pieces of your unique stories, thoughts, and emotions. Take your time, be gentle with yourself, and allow this letter to be as true as you feel it needs to be. (There are no limits—write as few words as you like, or let your thoughts flow into thousands.)
