Hey there all you Autobots, Decepticons, Neutrals and others! The moment you've all been waiting for is here!

It's the 2026 Jazz Week prompt list!

This year, we're changing things up just a little from the usual format and adding wild card prompts! These are prompts you can swap in for a day's prompts if you don't like either of them but still want a bit of direction for your fills. These are optional, like all Jazz Week prompts, but we hope they inspire.

Remember, Jazz Week is all ages, all ratings and all types of creative works! Create freely and tag appropriately (during posting in July) and have fun!

See you July 19th!

And, as always, the text version of the prompts for those of us who can't see the graphic:

July 19: Space//Light Show July 20: Planning//Past & Future July 21: Trio//Peekaboo July 22: Swing time//Care July 23: Telephone Game//Ballad July 24: Avalanche//Heist July 25: Oath//On patrol

Celebrate Mohg with a fanfest! Running from February 1-7, 2023, submit art, fics or other fan content relating to Mohg and tag the @mohgfest blog so we can reblog it to share with the community! All content relating to Mohg is allowed — shipping, noncon, incest, consensual, gen, whatever — provided that you abide by the rules of the platform you post on and label it appropriately. (So, no NSFW on tumblr, but if you want to link to Ao3 or Twitter or so on, just tag or label your submission so people know what they’re getting into.)

Participants are expected to curate their own experience, and tag their own works appropriately. Mohgfest is about fandom positivity: we want to enjoy the Lord of Blood with other fans!

There will be a prompt list, but following it is not required for participation. There’s no minimum quality, number of pieces, or finish level required: share quick sketches or your wips if you like.

Mohgfest is firmly anticensorship and anti harassment. If a contributor is found to be in violation of those policies their submissions may be ignored or removed.

Jazz Week 2026 is coming! The event runs from July 19-25 this year and the prompts will be posted on June 1 or thereabouts. (Time zones, you know)

The first day of Jazz Week had some great fills and fantastic flashbacks! Let's keep that energy going for day 2! Your July 20 prompts are: PLANNING or PAST & FUTURE

Well, here we are. We've reached Saturday and the last day of our party. We've had so many great fills and new faces, it's been EXCELLENT. Let's bring that energy for one more day!

Your July 25 prompts are:

OATH

or

ON PATROL

Hey there, Autobots, Decepticons and gentlebeings of all persuasions! Moderator @eerian-sadow here to give a few more details for Jazz Week, where we celebrate the smoothest, coolest cat ever produced by Hasbro.Jazz Week, or Autobot Jazz Week to keep confusion among the music festival crowd to a minimum, is a themed prompt week that runs annually during the month of July. The 2026 event (our 7th year, wow!) runs from July 19th through the 25thThis year’s timing might overlap with at least one other fandom challenge, but I haven't heard of any others this week. But, if I'm wrong, you can absolutely overlap your challenges. I don’t expect anyone to turn out two or three or more pieces per day, so please double or triple dip for THIS challenge. After all, it’s fine to wear the same dress to more than one party. ;) AND this is an “All Fanworks Welcome” challenge! Whether you paint, draw, write, knit or make floral arrangements, any fanwork that celebrates Jazz is happily welcomed here. The most important thing is that you are having fun! (We're also all ratings, so tag/warn accordingly, please!)Like most theme weeks, we have some prompts! This year, they are:July 19: Space//Light ShowJuly 20: Planning//Past & FutureJuly 21: Trio//PeekabooJuly 22: Swing time//CareJuly 23: Telephone Game//BalladJuly 24: Avalanche//HeistJuly 25: Oath//On patrolWild Card Prompts:-You can certainly try-Comfort-Distrust-Integration-Firestorm The prompts are presented in pairs, and you are welcome to take inspiration from one or the other or both or neither! (Again, the fun is the point.) We also added Wild Cards for the 2026 event, which are prompts that you can switch in if you aren't inspired by the ones in the main list.When posting your works, please remember to use the official Jazz Week tags (written so they don't overlap with the music festival scene, again) #AutobotJazzWeek and #AutobotJazzWeek2026 (Tumblr & Bluesky) On Dreamwidth, the tag is Jazz Week 2026.For everyone on AO3 there is a collection: https://archiveofourown.org/collections/JazzWeek2026(JazzWeek2026) And if you only manage one fill for the week? Don't sweat it. One fill is a success and you've added to the net joy of the universe!Have a great time, everyone! Don’t forget to share this (and the prompt posts all week) wherever you’ve seen it, and have a great fest!
