Some ideas
"If Every Country’s Leader in the World was a Woman," what would an artwork inspired by that headline look like? Perhaps like Dr. Zhivago and the room full of men arguing over pressing the nuclear button, except the leaders are women. There are infinite opportunities, such as "If Women + Environmental Disaster," or "If Women + Homelessness," and "If Women + School Shootings in the United States."
Or "If women were considered geniuses, "If women relied on men for a male birth control" "If women could end school shootings..."
We welcome any subject that starts with "If Women..." to get your point across about a world, economic, social, political or environmental issue you would like to paint in a different light. Provoke us to think of a different world or structure and inspire us to envision better things.

FAQs
Q: Will I get paid for my image if it's selected for Scopio's #IfWomen campaign? A: Yes, if your image is chosen, Scopio will pay you for the image. However, the payment structure depends on whether the book will be published with Harper Collins or self-published with a pool of artists. Either way, you will receive a portion of the upfront payment or a royalty if we self publish. Additionally, the images will be non-exclusive, and you will retain the copyright.
Q: Will the hashtag be used in the book along with my story?
