About this challenge
We strongly believe that two is better than one—at least when it comes to good food and drinks. While we all have our personal preferences, we’re curious to hear some of your most creative (and surprisingly good) food pairings—especially when it comes to the holidays! Whether it’s a classic cheese and wine duo, or a more timely take on this classic, such as a slice of pumpkin pie with a chilled glass of white wine, we want to hear why you deem this pairing the ultimate match made in heaven.
We’ve partnered with Bright Cellars for this Challenge. Bright Cellars' mission is all about offering a personalized experience, so we want this Challenge to reflect a pairing unique to you! Tell us what makes it your go-to, when was the first time you came across this duo, and anything else that could help us understand why this particular pairing, as simple or as crazy as it may be, will be a must for you during this holiday season. Of course, feel free to browse Bright Cellars' stellar wine selection for some inspiration!
If you'd like to treat yourself to some personalized wine, feel free to use this link for 50% off of your first 6-bottle box of Bright Cellars!🍷

Challenge resources
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.

Out of Season Challenge Winners
We’re trying something new with our challenge awards structure. Starting with Out of Season , each challenge will recognize one grand prize , four winners , and ten honorable mentions . That’s 15 stories to celebrate, with a little extra love for the top pick. For this challenge, the strongest stories made the timing matter. Something showing up early or returning when it shouldn’t changed what people did, what they assumed, or how they saw each other. There was humor in trying to carry on as usual, and sadness in realizing why the usual schedule no longer worked. Sometimes the wrong time of year turned out to be just when someone needed it.
