An open question to the #art community of Mastodon:
If I was to organize a big #solarpunk #illustration #contest focused more on #worldbuilding than art mastery, which organizations should I reach out to for legitimacy and reach?
Assume that prizes / funding could be organized externally / we have sponsors.
I know that we already had some art-community-organized Solarpunk events, like French Week and Art (2024), Yishan Wong's (2021), Atomhawk (2019).

This is pretty unremarkable. It's a classic trope of science fiction/fantasy in this period to use archaic syntax isn't it? Your story is instantly 100 times more classy if its title is "Call Not Their Names" rather than "Do Not Call Their Names".
