So I lost

Over 100 copywriters applied, 8 wrote for their lives, but only 1 left a winner. I was one of the 7 losers.

Pre competition all I knew was the prompts would be silly. Something like this:

This is some of what we got:

So we’ve got prompts and we’ve got people. But what’s the format? Bracket style. Head to head rounds with 5 minutes to write a golden manifesto before presenting it to the room. None of this was explained when you signed up. Trial by fire.

I was up last in the first bracket so I had some time.

For each round I tried my hands at the prompt. Each round was 5 minutes.

And I learned that 5 minutes can really fly by.

This screenshot is rough. Misspelled words and choice language. But I wanted to leave it all raw. This is what 5 minutes looks like.

Here’s proof of me reading, winning, and losing. Made it to the finals though!

Had no one to record the second round so here’s a recreation

For my readers, these are the above manifestos in their true panicked notes form.
