Join Future’s First Writing Challenge!

We are so excited to share Future’s first writing challenge with everyone here on DEV. Future is our new subforem for talking about cutting-edge technologies that influence our careers, day-to-day lives, culture, and everything in between.

We would like Future to be a friendly place to stay informed about technology, but from a lens that is not strictly about software development and how it affects our industry. This challenge is a call to kickstart some dialogue which we can share broadly with friends and family.

You can learn more about future and how subforems fit into our overall vision for the community in our original announcement:

Future Writing Challenge

Future Challenges are formatted similarly to DEV Challenges, with our usual suspects: prompts and prizes! Our first Future challenge is a writing challenge designed to leverage your technical expertise while enabling knowledge sharing amongst our less technical friends and family.

We have just one prompt for this challenge but three ways to win!

The Prompt

Write a letter to friends and family on what to expect with how technology is changing things.

You are welcome to be as broad or specific as you wish as long as your topic is within the scope of what technology touches. We encourage you not to focus on software development specifically, but instead leverage your technical expertise to focus on areas that will impact the friends and family you are writing to.

There are two additional prize categories you could focus on as well.

How To Participate

Read our full announcement post on Future for details on how to participate:

Good luck to all the writers!!

Reminder: Future is now available to post on in general, and forem.com can be used to see a feed from both spaces.

Happy writing!
