>> I'll gladly do the events I did before (Story Sparks, Body Parts, Untranslateable Words) wherever we have a hole. And I had the idea for one themed around pets/animals. <<
Look at the calendar, I would say space out 3 or at most 4 fests through the year. Having a mix of returning and new fests would be nice.

Okay, so Public Domain Day is when formerly copyrighted material gets released. That is January 1. Finding a list of titles whose copyright is about to expire, before that date, is often difficult. Finding lists a few days later is easy. But this year I found some early:
One easy way to make prompt lists would be the titles of books, movies, etc.
Notably among the releases will be The Complete Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan-Doyle. That's a huge fandom, so doing a prompt list for this would be great. I could do this one if you wish. Maybe if someone else spots a fandom they love in the release list, they could do prompts for it too.
So just there -- books, movies, Sherlock Holmes -- you've got 3 sublists. You could also look at the Bingo Card Generator for premade lists, like dramatic situations, that would mix well with this theme. Generally I recommend at least 25 prompts per list because that will fill a 5x5 card.
When it comes to making public cards for a fest with several sublists, however, the host often makes 2x2 or 3x3 cards for each sublist, and sometimes a 4x4 or 5x5 card mixing prompts from all of them.
Basically, I would just like to encourage people to use the newly freed material in whatever way they wish. I'd rather not host the fest myself since I'm doing Valentines in February.
