But sometimes, in unexpected places, at unexpected hours, maybe after long searching for it in the dark, you will be able to find one.
We call these moments Fairtales.
For this competition, we invite you to tell a story about finding the Fairtale. We believe stories should both comfort but also challenge. We like characters that resurrect from ashes, events that are impossible but still happen (call them miracles if you want), and places that should not exist, yet somehow become real.
