August 2024 Challenge Announcement - Self Portrait

 

 Happy new month!  We hope you enjoyed our July challenge - we certainly enjoyed seeing all your entries again and thank you for joining in with our challenge!  

This month is all about YOU!  Specifically your self-portrait.  Yes, just like Van Gogh and many other artists, we want you to create a portrait of you, a page that has a representation of YOU on it.  This can be a drawing, a photo, a painting, something realistic or something completely out of your imagination.  Our Design Team have some great examples of this to share with you this month. 

It is our hope that we can continue to use our word of the year in all of our pages this year just to keep that fresh in our minds, together with the monthly prompts or instead of them. Perhaps work your word of the year into your self-portrait!
The choice is yours!  

We can't wait to see what you create this month and what you choose to focus on!  Due to changes on Instagram it is harder to see the recent entries on a hashtag, so please also remember to tag us @mtw_challenge so we don't miss your projects.
