THE BRIEF

The theme of the anthology is Imagined Cities.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live in an underground city where buildings are made out of solid gold? What about your own city but slightly altered by a tiny moment in history? This is a great chance to let your imagination run wild! This theme will allow you to set a graphic story in the city you live in, a city you would like to live in, or a city of your dreams.
