#SoGMoodBoard Challenge
About the Challenge
The Moodboard Challenge is a popular Instagram Art Challenge encouraging artists to design a Character based on pictures, words and color keys.
We created this annual Challenge to support artists and also give young artists and newcomers a chance to get their work seen and criticised by professional artists from the industry. Download our MoodBoard here to join the Challenge!

Additional special Prize
Also, our partner Adobe is giving away a 1 year Creative Cloud Abo to one lucky winner! If you want to win the abo, draw the superhero character @meikearts designed for us in your own individual style (DTIYS) and use the hashtag #sogDTIYS2021. We will pick a random winner from that hashtag. You can join both challenges at the same time – the MoodBoard and DTIYS Challenge. Please don’t upload the DTIYS to the registration form below – just use the hashtag as we pick winners only from there!
