Get your contrast on this Juxtaposition July at the Prompt Foundry!

Whether things be opposite, just different, or two sides of the same coin, placing one thing in juxtaposition to another can create interest and nuance you wouldn't get from either on its own.

If you use this list, please tag me here @thepromptfoundry, I’d love to see your writing and art!

Feel free to combine different days' prompts with each other, or combine them with other events! Create fanwork, invent something original, give us some academic analysis, make art that's all vibes, whatever tickles your fancy.

Respond to as many prompts as you want or as interest you, don’t worry about missing or skipping any. Remember, this is supposed to be fun!

If you have any questions or musings, check our FAQ, and if you don't find your answer, shoot me an ask.
