A LOUD, BLARING ALARM
WAKES YOU UP FROM YOUR
SLUMBER.

YOU SIT UP FROM WHERE YOU
HAD LAIN ON YOUR BED,
OPENING YOUR EYES BLEARILY
TO SEE A LARGE PLATFORM
LOWERING DOWN FROM THE CEILING
TO STOP AT YOUR LEVEL.

IT'S A SPREAD OF FOOD, AND
YOUR STOMACH GRUMBLES WITH
HOW LONG YOU'VE BEEN
DEPRIVED OF IT.

HOWEVER, THE TEMPORARY RELIEF
YOU HAD FELT WAVERS AS YOU DRAW CLOSER.

WHILE THE SMELL OF FOOD IS
APPARENT, YOUR EYES TAKE IN THE
SIGHT OF FOOD STREWN ACROSS
THE TABLE, HALF-EATEN, UPTURNED,
AND PIECED APART.

THE ALARM IS STILL BLARING IN YOUR
EARS, BUT HERE, ALL YOU CAN HEAR
IS THE THUMPING OF YOUR OWN
HEART.

THE ALARM IS STILL BLARING IN YOUREARS, BUT HERE, ALL YOU CAN HEARIS THE THUMPING OF YOUR OWNHEART

welcome to cycle one, inmates!

it is imperative that you read the following paragraphs so that you know how exactly this will work. 

as we give your first prompt, we will be providing a title, a subtitle, a genre, and a specific size you have to work with. of course, the style of the graphic will not be mentioned, as that will be up to you as to how you want to execute your ideas. once again, while the genre will surely seem like it is limiting you to do a certain kind of style, there are always some exceptions and it will always depend on your interpretation of the prompt.

now, here we get to the main focus of this competition in the first place: the resources. below, we will be assigning you to thirteen different levels via a random list generator, from one to thirteen. each cycle will have different level assignments. as stated in the first chapter of this book, there will be thirteen resources that you guys will be able to choose from. level one will be the first one to choose. after that, their chosen resource will be taken out of the choices. level two will choose next. the same will happen. this will work all the way until level thirteen, the last contestant, gets their resource. you have to put that resource in your graphic no matter what.
