# mARTch 2026

✦ the March Art Challenge

F.A.Q

✷ do i have to draw every day? nope — this isn't that kind of challenge! i try to keep things laid back and accessible, so you can skip as many days as you need if you're busy, falling behind, or want a break for any reason! there are 10 main days (marked with a star) to anchor yourself through the month, you can just focus on those if you want!

✷ do i have to make finished art? nope — this challenge is intended for warming up and trying new things more than anything, so quick/unfinished sketches are fine! you can 'polish' your art if you want to, but it's not required at all!

✷ what is the tag for the event? #mARTch or #mARTch2026 this year! i encourage everyone to spend some time in there appreciating what other people are doing during the event!

✷ can you share/promote my entries? unfortunately this year i'm gonna have to take a step back from cataloguing entries - sorryyyy!!! in the past i've shared everything in the tag to my blog @bweirdevents but as the event has grown from a few friends to a few hundred people, it's left me with less and less time to actually participate myself. the blog will remain up as an archive and i'll still try my best to like/interact here and in the discord as much as i can, but my cataloguing days are definitely behind me

✷ can i re-upload your prompt list on another site? i would really prefer people just use the reblog/retweet/share button instead

INFO/F.A.Q

CAN I START EARLY? Yep! You can pre-prepare as much as you'd like, but please wait til the right day to post!

DO I HAVE TO POST EVERY DAY? Nope! Days marked with a red star are the main ones, Please feel free to focus on them and skip the rest of the prompts if you're busy/tired/sick/just wanna take it easy.

DO I HAVE TO MAKE NEW STUFF? Nope! Re-using old stuff if it fits the prompt is ok :)

DO I HAVE TO DRAW/BE AN ARTIST? Nope! You can participate with any medium - text posts, writing, art, bases/picrews, moodboards... please include credit if you're using bases/picrews/other resources tho! Oh and no AI please

WHAT'S THE TAG? #bweirdoctober or #bweirdoctober2025 ... usually theres a bunch of other ppl who host OCtober lists too so I use my own tag with my username to keep track of who's using my prompts

WHERE IS THE EVENT HOSTED? I post the prompts on every site I have an account on, so you can participate wherever you are... but I only have time to keep track of so-many entries, so I only check posts here on tumblr and over on discord! you can see all the entries I reblog on bweirdevents.tumblr.com or join the discord at discord.gg/rSnwM8zVnV
