Summer Camp 2025: Judging & Shortlist!
Soooo... this is my second time judging a prompt in Summer Camp, and I'm so excited! I am sponsoring the prompt A species that undergoes a metamorphosis. It's the most broad prompt from Wave 3 in my opinion, which has its pros and cons. I like prompts that are a little more specific, but I can certainly work with this one and a lot of people wrote really awesome articles!
I was looking for something unique when judging my prompt. I've read hundreds of species articles, I have thousands of species in my world (only around 450 articles haha), so I've seen similar concepts over and over again. A longlist of 19 entries were ones that really stood out to me, then I wittled it down to these ten. I have my own personal biases in what I look for in a species, as anyone would.
Without further ado, here are the ten that made my shortlist, in alphabetical order!
| Atlas | Ash Field · Atigeo Sea · Chrihaia Lake · Endless Tower
| ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Biota | Atigean Clam · Clam-Eyed Fish · Fire Frog · Fire Noodle · Firepede · Firewood Beetle · Frogfish · Helsaurus · Mayhem Fish · Sawshark · Thermal Carp · Thorn-backed Thrasher | ||
| Cultures | Hell's Holiday | ||
| Misc | Hell · Hell Notes |
