About this challenge
What are you most passionate about? Why do people follow you, read your stories, or want to hear what you have to say?
Whether it's at-home sustainability hacks, recipe development, or being the authority on all things ice hockey, tell us what brings you true fulfillment and how you could monetize that passion in a perfect world.
If you're a fitness expert, maybe your membership business includes access to an exclusive 25-day workout program and some of your favorite workout bands. If you're more of a home cook, maybe your membership comes in the form of a weekly recipe sent directly to your followers' inboxes. Whatever it may be, dream big and tell us why people should support your passion. We're partnering with Memberful for this Challenge—a tool that allows creators, like you, to earn from your audiences through membership software.

This Challenge was particularly enjoyable for us as judges. It allowed us to sit around and discuss our own books that we cherish, the ones that changed us. Was it because they were perfectly written? Or because it was the book we needed at that point in our lives? And what does perfectly written even mean? For whom is it perfect? And, being big readers, as so many of our Creators are, we know that the more you read, the more deeply you are affected by all sorts of books, and suddenly you are thrown this way and that, moved like a leaf on a stream by all the incredible books you read, and it's hard to pick just one book.

Critics and critiques in general are held up as many things. They are lauded for their insight into art, allowing the masses to understand why a painting, play, book or movie are important. And many critiques, the best, we feel, can be filled with the critic's personal tone while remaining objective. But critics are also often despised by artists as misunderstanding or misclassifying their works. Critics wield a lot of power, just look at Rotten Tomatoes. It just takes one bad review to tank almost any type of art.
