The 'Why Not Fail?' Challenge Submission Deadline

Let's face it, we've all experienced our own fair share of failure, and we're all likely to experience it again. Failure isn't something to fear. The important part of failure is learning from it. For the Why Not Fail? Challenge, we're looking to hear about the varied ways that people learn from failure and the creative ways they put failure to work for the greater community.

Interested in participating? Tell us your thoughtful story about a time you've experienced failure. What did you learn from failure and what can others learn? Your submission can fall into one of two categories: a 1-2 minute reflection (including Tik Tok or Instagram Reels) or a 5 - 10 minute monologue (including video or audio recording). Submissions can be professional quality of amateur creations, but what truly matters most is that you are creative and thoughtful in your storytelling. Submissions can be from individuals or groups and will be evaluated by a panel that includes students, faculty, and story tellers. All entries must be received by 5 p.m. on Monday, March 21. We're not looking for the most spectacular failure, we're looking for the most thoughtful story. Share your story with us, because why not fail?
