The WOtW challenge is the warm-up for our forthcoming Urban Flash competition where words and images will collide to create a new collaborative, creative universe. Each week, we’ll be finding a word and inviting participants to submit their interpretation of that word either photographically or textually.
The word will be posted on our website every Friday. Participants then have a week to get creative …
We’re looking for images that reflect the meaning of the word of the week – be as tangential and inventive as you like. Post your image to:
EITHER: The Urban Flash group on Flickr . For the tag, use WOTWx where x is the week number.
OR: Instagram using the hashtag #thisisurbanflash
Write a piece of fiction, non-fiction or poetry (maximum 250 words) that includes the word of the week. Paste the story into the body of an email and send to wotw@tprol.co.uk. If you’re looking for a real challenge, submit a story using fewer than 140 characters via Twitter using the hashtag #thisisurbanflash.
Each week, we’ll be featuring our favourites on the TPRoL website and we’re holding a monthly prize draw. The winners will receive a signed copy of Geoff Nicholson’s The London Complaint: A Celebration of the Capital’s Maladies.

This week's Word of the Week aka WOtW is fain which means to 'welcome (a person)' (The New Shorter Oxford English Dictionary).
