The Pride Challenge
An annual celebration of LGBT+ Pride Month that can be accessed from anywhere in the world! Prompts provide inspiration for creation of any kind, the hashtag allows you to share your pride with the world, and the online only format allows you to participate from the comfort of your home!
Who Can Participate?
Anyone and everyone! Painters, writers, makeup artists, videographers, singers, dancers, bakers, crafters, photographers, the list goes on! No matter your skill level or medium, you are always welcome to join in our festivities. Last year, we saw drawings, music, makeup art, and food. I would love to see people from all backgrounds and mediums participate!
Creator Amanda McCoy is a author/illustrator, so prompts are created with that in mind. Feel free to adapt the prompt to suit your medium.
