Description

Theme: Reflections of the Moon Deadline: November 26 Prizes: $25-$50 Center for Creative Inquiry invites you to submit to our online blog, New Perspectives through Creative Inquiry. The goal of this publication is to share the journeys of our authors and creators as they explore their experience. We present writings, reflections and artistic pieces to inspire new ideas, new explorations, and new questions, sparking opportunities to tap into the richness and multidimensionality of experience. Every work presented is a work in progress, because creative inquiry never settles on a final answer. We embrace the unfolding of insight without being bound by its conclusions. This is a playground, where creators and viewers can enjoy knowledge, celebrate its appearance, and move with the flow: what is my experience as I engage this piece? Is it changing? How do I know? We hold contests in 12 week cycles. The theme for the current cycle is "Reflections of the Moon" and we ask for potential contributors to read and reflect on the following quote and submit a piece that emerges from your reflections: *If the eye sees the moon reflected in the waters of a river, the present experience is the continuously changing flow of water illuminated by the light of the moon. But then we name it, calling it ‘the reflection of the moon.’ We verify the truth of that name in each succeeding moment. Repeatedly confirming the echo of our initial perception, we perceive a static image of the moon, while the ‘present’ play of light on water recedes from view.* More guidelines here: https://creativeinquiry.org/2021/11/03/open-call-reflection-of-the-moon/
