About this challenge
TikTok has taken over—the social media world, and IRL. Getting onto the “For You” page quickly became everyone’s quarantine goal, and this certainly didn’t stop once quarantine did. But with such a huge volume of content to go through on TikTok, we’re sure that we missed some awesome posts that should’ve gone viral. So, we want your help in giving these overlooked TikToks the attention they deserve.
Is there a TikTok you saw—or even one you made yourself!—that you’re obsessed with, or wish more people had seen, or believe deserved to go viral? We want to hear why you loved these so much. Enter the For You Challenge and embed the TikTok you want to highlight. Then, tell us what about it makes it so great, and why you think it may have been overlooked in the first place.

Whispering Woods Challenge Winners
Congratulations to Morgan Christy Rickards for their winning Whispering Woods story, Guardian at the Gate. Morgan has been a Vocal creator since February 2021, and this is their first time placing in Challenge — well done, starting with a win! Guardian at the Gate draws evocatively from Welsh tales of the Cantre'r Gwaelod, a lost sunken kingdom between the forest and the sea. Heledd’s dangerous adventure pulls her towards the water but her spirit is anchored in the woods: Morgan’s writing is atmospheric and exciting.
Vocal Curation TeamPublished 8 days ago in ResourcesSnacktime Sonata Challenge Winners
Well, your Snacktime Sonatas made us hungry, and that’s about the highest compliment we have. Food — taste, smell, sensation — is a powerful conduit to the past, to memories pleasurable and painful and sometimes bittersweet, a mixture of comfort and challenge. Congratulations to Penny Fuller for Sativa — it’s a first win for Penny — a hymn to the “secret, unbounded/freedoms” of fresh peas in the pod. The narrative voice of the poem doesn’t really want to be outside, but finds joy in the green things of the earth; this is a lovely work of resilience.
