Reimagining the Gothic 2019: Creative Competition


Sheffield Gothic is delighted to announce our 2019 Reimagining the Gothic creative competition!
Each year as part of Reimagining the Gothic we hold a creative showcase: an opportunity to explore the theme through various creative methods. This year, that theme is ‘Returns, Revenge, Reckonings’ - think everything from Senecan tragedies to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, from noble avengers to usurping Counts, from vengeful lovers to prophetic witches.

The aim of the creative showcase is to offer alternative insights and rethink Gothic conventions through a variety of creative mediums. In the past we've had photography series, music videos, dramatic pieces, and short films. Want to get involved? This year’s competition is now open!
Deadline for submissions is 11 March 2019.




Any and all are welcome to submit creative pieces in all shapes and forms that explore, imagine and challenge the theme in anyway. Want to design the costumes for a potential adaptation of your favourite Gothic work? Or adapt it for a Graphic Novel? Great! Want to rewrite a classic Gothic trope from a new angle? Wonderful! Feel like taking atmospheric photos of a haunted ruin at night? I mean, be careful, but sure! Got an idea but not the creative skills to realise it? Group projects are also welcome!

The competition is for submissions of all kinds, and the winning entry will receive a £75.00 Amazon gift card.

Creative Competition 2019 T&Cs
  1. There is no payment or fee to take part: all you need to do is email Sheffield Gothic your entry along with a short bio to SheffieldGothic@gmail.com by the deadline (11 March 2019). Please include ‘Reimagining the Gothic Creative Entry 2019’ in the subject line of your email.
  2. Submissions must be original. You're welcome to riff off, be inspired by and reinterpret any existing works (copyright allowing) but all entries must be original pieces.
  3. Submissions must abide to the Sheffield Gothic code of conduct. The Gothic is a language of anxiety, taboo and the other and we encourage submissions to fully interrogate and explore those themes. However, we reserve the right to refuse any submissions that are intentionally offensive, contain hate speech or are unnecessarily aggressive.
  4. Entrants will be limited to one submission per person/group. Photo series or poetry collections will be accepted as one submissions. Accepted submissions can include, but are not limited to, the following: comic strips; costuming and/ or cosplay; photography and/ or short films; music videos and/ or performances; short fiction including prose, poetry, drama, and experimental fiction; traditional art; digital art. Written pieces will be considered up to 1000 words.
  5. Entrants must have permission to have their pieces displayed. All submissions will be displayed at our Creative Showcase (which will take place on the evening of Saturday 11th May 2019) so do bear this in mind when you submit and whether it will be possible to display your work – Sheffield Gothic may be able to help with printing. If your work has been previously shown elsewhere or commissioned as part of another project, or you are submitting on behalf of a group or another individual you must have permission to do so Entrants retain the right not to have their work displayed, and can email us at any point to let us know if they no longer wish to have their work displayed (however this will then also mean that your submission will not be considered in the competition).
  6. Submissions will have the opportunity to have their work hosted on Sheffield Gothic’s website. This is not a requirement for the competition, and any entrants that do wish to have their work hosted on our website will retain the full rights to their work, as well as the right to withdraw their work from our website at any point.
  7. The winners will be announced at the Creative Showcase (Saturday 11th May 2019): it is not required that you are present at the Creative Showcase but the organisers would strongly encourage entrants to attend.
  8. The competition will be judged anonymously by a panel of Gothicists not part of Sheffield Gothic. As such, please ensure that the document or file that contains your entry only has the title of the piece, and does not contain your name or any identifiable information in the title or the piece itself.
  9. The 1st prize will be a £75.00 Amazon gift card: this cannot be exchanged for cash. There will also be a runner up prize which will be announced in due course, but this will not be a monetary prize.
  10. Submissions are not limited to the UK: we welcome submissions from around the globe, as long as we are able to display the submission in some form and advise that if you are submitting from abroad that you check your region or country’s guidelines or customs laws as we will only be able to post prizes at standard rates.

    2. HOW I GOT MY HUSBAND BACK WITH THE HELP OF DR LARRY  CONTACT ON WHATSAPP NUMBER +1(424)-261-8520 

      I want to say thank you to Dr Larry for the good thing he has done for me though I am not sure if this is the best forum to show my joy and happiness for what he has done for me but I can't hide my happiness and my Joy so I have to share it with the world.
      My marriage crashed about two years ago and I tried all I could within my powers to restore it but to no avail. I saw different posts and testimonies about the good things Dr Larry has been doing so I decided to give it a try. Though he is always a busy man, when he responded back to my email, he gave me 48 hours for my marriage to be restored and just like he said my marriage was restored, since then I am happy and I am living happily in my marriage. I am so grateful to Dr Larry you can always contact him here: assurancesolutionhome@gmail. com or you can WhatsApp him via +1(424)-261-8520  website http://assurancesolutioncenter.website2.me/

  4. Vampires is not at all like in the movies or books. Sure, I understand. You are young you have the whole world open to you. You can be anything that you choose if you apply yourself and try hard to work toward that goal. But being a Vampire is not what it seems like. It’s a life full of good, and amazing things. We are as human as you are.. It’s not what you are that counts, But how you choose to be. Do you want a life full of interesting things? Do you want to have power and influence over others? To be charming and desirable? To have wealth, health, and longevity? contact the Vampires Lord on his Email: Richvampirekindom@gmail.com

  10. I finally was able to conceive a child of my own the year 2019 after 11 years without any issue. this really was the worst thing ever. It was a miracle that indeed shocked me. because i was left with no option but to use a Herbal Health Concoction that was prepared from Herbs to help the Immune. I got to find out about this from someone, and i talked to the direct source about my problem. He`s name is Priest Babaka and He told me how some necessary few herbs will be useful as to women`s health and recovery and He had to do what He knows best. He sent the Herbs to me and gave instruction on method of use. this all happened and i really have been able to say i`m glad God did this.
    You can get in-touch with Priest Babaka via Email: babaka.wolf@gmail.com Or Facebook at priest.babaka
    Really just felt like dropping this.

  11. BEST WAYS TO GET YOUR EX LOVER BACK AND RESTORED YOUR BROKEN MARRIAGE OR RELATIONSHIP FROM SORROW TO HAPPINESS.

    Help me thank Dr Omokpo for helping me get my ex husband back to me and my family. This great powerful spiritual man restored my sorrow to happiness. My husband left me some years ago for another woman and they both planned to get married. I am so surprised he just came back to me one cool afternoon on Saturday June, begging and crying for me to take him back and to forgive him for breaking up our marriage home and forsaking me and the children. Dr Omokpo is a true spiritualist savior . He brought my husband back”

  13. DR ISIKOLO IS A LIFE SAVER AND I CAN ASSURE YOU ABOUT THAT.
    My name is Denisa Popescu and I am here to join the numerous people out here to thank Dr Isikolo for his help and kind gestures towards me. I had a horrible experience going through heartbreak with my man. He left me and I was devastated and couldn't find any sought of help to get him back. At some point I was depressed until I ran into pages where people testified about how Dr Isikolo helped them. I contacted him and he never hesitated to help me as well. Not only did I get my man back after 48 hours, the love and happiness has also been restored better than ever. Dr Isikolo is an amazing personality and I can't thank him enough for his selfless services towards humanity. contact him now via email: isikolosolutionhome@gmail.com or text him via WhatsApp: +2348133261196.
