About this challenge
Whether you're playing couch quarterback for your NFL team on Sunday night or showing off your college spirit on Saturday afternoon, game day promises something we can all agree on, no matter what team you're on. No game day is complete without a generous array of salty, cheesy, meaty, and tasty snacks. With the Super Bowl around the corner, let's plan our home-cooked menus!
Become the MVP of game-day bites by sharing your favorite party-perfect snacks. Help keep our eyes on the game and our bellies full by sharing why you look forward to making these fan-favorites for game day. What special ingredients make this a winning recipe?

October Challenge Winners
October turned out to be a much stranger place than we expected, and we loved seeing where everyone took it. From familiar autumn scenes to some wonderfully unexpected settings, this challenge brought out a lot of creativity and imagination.

You Are Here Challenge Winners
For You Are Here , we asked writers to put readers somewhere they weren't supposed to be. What really stood out in the stories that placed was how often that line wasn't so clear. Sometimes you knew you were pushing your luck, sometimes you had every right to be there, and sometimes you didn't get much of a choice. Writing in second person made those situations feel a lot harder to watch from the sidelines.

Negative Space Challenge Winners
For Negative Space , we asked writers to explore how much can be said through what's left out. Our favorite entries found clever ways to make those silences, gaps, and unanswered questions feel just as important as the words themselves.
