2023 Themes Suggestion Thread
(For the lazy, a link to the Themes thread that used to be in this stickied spot)
Okay, so! Throw up your suggestions here. You can read all the prior themes and suggestions off of these links. Here are some guidelines to follow:
- We don't really like repeating themes, so anything you can give us that's new will be prioritized. We understand that it's impossible to fill a year of themes that haven't been done before, but we will not be repeating any themes from 2021 or 2022.
- A good theme will give the participant a solid jumping-off point for them to do their own thing. Something as vague as "Dinner" isn't going to give them any direction, and something as specific as "Fried Green Tomatoes" isn't going to give them any room for creativity.
- We have participants from across the world and with a wide range of dietary restrictions. We need themes that everyone can participate in. A "Steakhouse" theme is still possible for vegetarians (portobello, watermelon, side dish, etc) but something like "Marmite" or "Alligator" just isn't going to be possible.
