A Creative Writing Workshop- Can you learn the art of writing? Or do you have to be born with it? There’s only one way to find out!
Participants learn about the process through the workshop conducted by eminent writer Randhir Khare, following which they participate in a competition where they test their newly polished skills.
v The students shall be asked to choose three photos from the exhibited photos in the photography department’s festival Fotosync. Based on the photos, the participants must write either a short story or a poem. The genre, tragedy or comedy, of this piece will be randomly selected by the participants.
v Participation only by prior registration.
v Not more than 15 participants will be entertained.
· If there are more than 15 applications, there will be a selection process
wherein the participants will have to submit a piece of work written by them
based on an assigned photo.
· They can choose between Tragedy and Comedy. This work can only be up to 150 words for a short story and 10 lines for a poem.
v The participants will attend a workshop and then choose the genre they will be writing in. Then participants will choose 3 photographs from the Fotosync exhibition. 15 minutes will be given to choose the photographs.
v Participants have one hour to complete writing a poem or a short story.
v The word limit is 500 words for a short story and 20 lines for a poem.
v While we do not wish to place any restrictions on freedom of interpretation, the work has to contain the essence or theme of the photo. The piece of work has to be relevant to the photographs. Unnecessary use of foul language is not encouraged. If such language is used, the judges will take due note and may penalize the participant.
v The decision of the judges will be final and binding.
