This year we decided we needed an exotic list of online events which would allow for anybody, anywhere at any place or time, to be a part of our fest. So here's what we have planned!
COMIC MAKING
Participate in groups of 3, 2 or solo and let your creativity flow as you combine literature with art. Use characters that already exist or create your own characters to tell a new tale. If you are good at drawing, then draw. If you are good with software tools, then use them. If you are good with stories, then tell some. Send in pictures of your hand-drawn comic strips or send in the screenshots.
Theme: Heroes
BEING QUIRKY
This one begins with a disclaimer. This event is all about being wild and about but not immoral, unethical, crass or objectionable. Whatever you do, do not hurt anyone's sentiments or beliefs.
Think of something crazy, something insane that you could never even dream of doing... and then do just that! Think of the whackiest thing you could possibly do, plan it, act on it, record it and upload it on our Facebook page! Have fun being crazy! Launch into impromptu dances on the streets, -- get creative, get quirky. Break all the social norms of decency for a bit and have some innocent fun being the social norms.
Remember that this event is all about having some sincere, innocent, good-hearted and well-intended fun. You will be responsible for your actions, so think before you act. Don't be controversial and do not invite trouble! That's the only restraint we put.
Brownie Points for being funny, decent, creative.
SHOW OFF
Different people have different skills. Everyone says that but rarely ever is there an opportunity to witness. This is what this event is about. Put your best foot forward and simply show off! It doesn't matter if you a better artist or a singer-- whatever your talent is, just show off!
Send in pictures of your artwork,
send in audios of your songs,
send in videos of your acting!
Grab this opportunity to step out and step up! Whatever you are capable of, it's time to flaunt it!
AND THEN THERE WERE NONE....
The theme of the fest this year is Halloween. We extend that to this event.
Do you think you can scare the living daylights out of people in just a few words? Write a horror story in no more than 5 lines and be judged by none other than the very successful Indian author, Mr. Sudeep Nagarkar!!! The stories he selects will be featured on our website!!
Choose your own language. Write in English, Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati or even venture into Spanish or French!! But just ensure that you send chills down the spines of all your readers... especially the judge!!
Be original, Be scary!

PHOTOGRAPHY FOR A CAUSE
The world as we know it is not a perfect place. We as citizens of this planet can either oversee the flaws or change them. We, personally, favour the latter. If you share this view, then go grab your cameras and get working!!
Take up a cause and highlight it in 5 clicks and a paragraph. Highlight a social issue of any sort and fight for that cause through your shots. And more importantly, do it with a touch of humour! Go fishing in the potholes, fly like Superman over irritatingly long construction sites-- do what you want and have fun highlighting a serious cause!
Put your pictures on our Facebook page, or tag us on Instagram. But ensure that you do mail the pictures as well in order to register for the event.
Let's start a revolution!
Note: Please do not be controversial and do not touch politically sensitive issues. We do intend to highlight good causes via your photo-series but not by raising an angry controversy but by being peaceful citizens showing the world from our view.
The events will be live from the moment you first read of them to the day of the main fest viz on the 6th of February, 2015. To participate in any of these events (or in all of them!) email your entries to us at [email protected] with the name of the event being the subject of the mail.
We will put up the best of each category on all of our social media accounts as often as possible-- Twitter, Facebook and Instagram!
Have Fun!
