Gotham always has a writing contest (or two) going. These contests are a great way to stretch your talent and imagination, and we dangle nice prizes to give you extra motivation. Check out our current contests. And it's worth a look at the winners and finalists in our past contests; the quality of work always amazes us.
We invite you to invent a word. Not just any word. A word you think will greatly enhance the English language.
Give us your word, a one-sentence definition, and use the word in a sentence.
The winner gets a free Gotham class of their choosing.
