Prose just doesn't seem to have as many chill challenges as it deserves, and by chill challenges I mean the kind I can get me some sweet, sweet dinero out of winning. If you had a thousand dollars to place as the prize for any sort of Prose Challenge, what would the prompt for this hypothetical challenge be? (mention whatever details-- i.e. portal, deadline, word count restrictions, etc.-- you consider relevant.)

Write a meaningless poem-- one that transcends meaning to touch the rotten emotional core of the self.

Write a sonnet-- a good, classically-structured sonnet, mind you-- about the fetish you never knew you had. Be as prude or as graphic as you want, but don't be boring.
