My Favorite Arkansas Town
This year, we invite you to tell us about what makes your favorite town special and interesting. It could be its founding, a local natural feature, an annual festival or anything that makes it unique and cool. Need some inspiration? Visit your library, your mayor, local parks, or industry. You don’t even have to live there, as long as it’s a great place in our great state. Because every place is unique, we expect any kind of game could be used. So get creative, flex those coding muscles (large or small), and tell us your town’s story. We look forward to playing it.
