“Our epoch is a time of tragic collision between matter and spirit and of the downfall of the purely material world view.”
― Wassily Kandinsky

Good Luck to all Contenders


What is the Creativity Contest all about?


In short: It is simply about generating a valuable entry based on the word associated with each round.
The entry/comment with the most upvotes wins.

In depth: The idea is to stimulate and engage steemians in creative work through rewards and competition. My assumption is that larger the reward gets the more challenging it becomes to win which will lead to a greater level of competition therefore higher quality of work being submitted.

The Creativity Contest could possibly:

  • Encourage differentiation
  • Push steemians to avoid complacency
  • Help Forming unexpected partnerships, as the competition allows people to cooperate and work on an entry/comment.
  • Provide a nest for mutual learning, as steemians will have the chance to learn and get inspired by the many ways of approaching self-expression.
  • Lead to highly Imaginative work, as competition gets rougher.

How to enter the contest?


Let's say Mr. Herbert Hoover wants to enter Round #37 and the word associated with it is "Competition"

All he has to do is represent the meaning of the word in an original entry/comment (100% his work and creation)

  • He can write a definition of the word (no plagiarism)
  • He can post a video in which he discusses the meaning of the word
  • Any Art form that could symbolize and represent the word (humor, painting, drawing, music..)
  • He can write a short story
  • He can discuss the origin of the word
  • Discuss its meaning philosophically
  • Literally anything goes as long as it is his original work

Mr. Hoover decided to share what he thinks about "Competition" in a short sentence
and before entering his post he made sure to use this format:

There are forces driving us mad,
There are forces making us strong,
There are dreams being built,
And shattered at the same time.

Everything is a jungle, chaotic,
Because of our thought collisions,
Everything is incoherent,
Because we are only human.

What happens with a collision,
What emotions come out on top,
Is it love or is it loss,
Is it lust or is it hate?


Ba-dum, tsttt.
And here is another article about collision:

Contest Entry:


The collision between the matter and the spirit is a subject that more or less was between us for as long as humanity can recall it.
The way I understand this, is that the collision of these two things is as bigger as we care for both of them at once, the matter and the spirit. We all want to take care more about the spirit but we need the matter to do so. It is a fight that even the most simplest humans that live into the isolation corners of the Earth have to face it. I'll try by this picture to show you that there are matters that can also have a positive collision with the spirit.

Nice one looks Real

Thank you. It is real. It is a picture of a sunset cloudy sky taken some years ago around the place I live.

Contest Entry

Collision: a violent and forceful strike against something of like force e.g. the collision of two adults on a walk path or the collision of two vehicles.

I'll submit a poem. Thanks for a great competition.

You and I
Tangled between sheets.
Touch of your skin on mine
Taste of your tongue
As our lips meet.

You enchant me.

Every breath I take binds me to you.
Every heartbeat whispers your name.
You my beloved, always you.
I am drawn,
A moth to your naked flame

You undo me.
I wilt inside.
Nerves
Passion
I can’t turn away.
Stars explode. This feels like heaven.
Every time you and I
Collide....

I didn't know you were a poet as well @jhagi.bhai - that is a beautiful and sensuous poem.

Hi hope. HUGGS for you. Lol. I'm no poet. Never spent time poeting. Lol. Not much good at adulting either. Happy you enjoyed it, I find delight in skating very close to the edge of nsfw, without going over it. Naughty but nice. Grinning.
Hugs.

Collision

Inevitably the word conjures up two objects travelling through the 4th dimension on converging paths towards an inevitable meeting. For a collision to occur, most likely at high speed relative to each other, violently and resulting in injury or destruction of one or either of the aforementioned objects. We think of cars crashing into each other at junctions, hockey player with sticks and helmets flying.

Continents Collide

But Collision can also be a slow and beautiful thing. Two continents moving against each other eventually become one and the inhabitants slowly spread around the world. Seas and Mountains are created over a time frame of millions of years. It has happened many times in our planet's history and will keep happening. One day a range of mountains higher than the Himalayas will form where Paris now stands. The Mediterranean sea will disappear in the process. It's a collision which we cannot see or feel.

Cultures Collide

Then there is the other kind of collision which we can feel, slowly and subtly like the changing of the seasons. Collisions of culture & ideas and in this case a different type of outcome can occur. One that is neither deleterious or destructive; a beautiful, positive hybridisation, more akin to the processes of reproduction where two things come together to create a new thing in time and space. When the word collision comes to mind what do you think of ?

Falling in Love

In a similar fashion two lives on converging paths encounter each other and with a mutual feeling of destiny become entwined, entangled, enmeshed perhaps for a lifetime, perhaps for a fleeting few moments. A collision of hearts and minds on the individual level can be as epic as two continents colliding or can be as painful as a car crash. It can even become the ultimate act of creation, making love produces new life and creates new love for there is nothing more profound in the human experience than the love of a child for it's parent and a parent for it's offspring.

A Choice, what do you see ?

A car crash, broken glass, twisted metal, mountains crumpling up and continental shelves recycling the very bedrock of the sea floor or the affirmation of co-joined human thought bringing about fusion and a new way of seeing. Do you see new life, new opportunity or do you see pain. For this my friends answers only one question and that is about you.

warm air and cold air collide ripping the very electrons from the sky creating fire and sonic booms - a storm is also a series of very powerful collisions

Contest entry

Think of you light
I was blindfolded
From silent
Called me alone in solitude
Dreams are lost
I wanted to return to your light.
Whenever you wanted to be spared in the back of the person
Only then did you know that you are in my darkness
And whenever I thought binding around the boundaries around you
Then I lost you
In your dark
Where is my sky in heaven where there is heaven
The drawings in the mirror drawn in the other colors
I'm one of the blind poets in that image
Feel the light stairs.

Art emerges at the intersection of reality, imagination, dissonance, and emotion. The best work is created when all of these elements collide. Comfort and complacency are the enemies of the artist. And that's why only the truly brave, the odd, the mildly insane can hang in the realm of pure creation.

Contest Entry:

What is our universe but a product of colliding energies

In the clouds, charges collide to create thunder

In an expressive dance, between the charges, water droplets collide creating rain

With such forceful energy, rain falls from the sky

Life is then created; when rain collides with earth in a passionate hug

When our eyesight collide with ugliness, we understand beauty

We fathom happiness in the aftermath of colliding with sadness

At the moment the collision of fervent feelings rattles our hearts, we experience love

The ardent collision of masculine and feminine creates a world of infinite wonders

A world of wonders that creates our existence from a collision of the non-existence.
