9. Idea submission
We believe creativity is most powerful when it invites connection. If you choose to share original ideas, works of authorship or creative contributions with the Alliance, know that we do not claim ownership or control of what you create. unless we have entered into a specific agreement with you (such as for co-creation or special collaboration), any work you submit remains fully yours. If your contribution is aligned with our shared mission which is helping people connect more deeply with themselves, others, or the world — and it stands on its own as a finished expression, it may be eligible for inclusion in the pantry, a curated collection of creative works available for others to explore and use.
By offering a work for potential inclusion, you acknowledge:
1. That your work is complete enough to be user experience by others without further explanation.
2. That you have the right to share it under a creative Commons license (typically BY-NC-SA) or similar open framework.
3. That your offering it in the spirit of connection, not exclusivity.
Any adaptations (such as translations or context specific versions) will always be the responsibility and choice of the original creator or someone that explicitly authorized.

We are not a gatekeeper — we are gathering place. All we ask is that what you share is ready to be received.
