    Write a Scratch project of 15 or fewer words to produce an interesting picture.
    (There are categories for 20 and 25 words too).

    See Winning Projects here:
    https://scratch.mit.edu/studios/3797054/

    See the project "15 Word Challenge" https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/138944977/ for the rules, how to count words, a tutorial, judging categories etc.

    You may still add projects here but they will not be included in the judging.

    This year is the 20th anniversary of a similar challenge in Logo - another programming language.

    * Name your project "Please Count Words" if you would like someone to count the words.
    * Nice messages if someone has counted their words wrongly.

    I value the "20 Word" and "25 Word" categories highly!! They will let us see wonderful designs not possible in 15 words and make a large area of this challenge new and different to the original Logo challenge.
