Challenge Your Creativity: From Handcrafted Detail to Visual Chaos
We’re launching new challenges for contributors, an invitation to explore key visual trends, connect with today’s styles, and contribute original content that helps grow both our library and your personal portfolio.
Two challenges are already live, with prizes of up to €300, designed to highlight the value of creative work and the diversity of styles within our community. This is the perfect moment to explore new ideas, reinterpret concepts, and leave your mark with your unique style.
Since we want to celebrate the human talent behind each creation, AI-generated content will not be accepted in this edition.
🎨 Organic Handmade Style Challenge: The Warmth of Authenticity
We’ve launched this challenge to capture the essence of handcrafted work. We’re looking for content that conveys warmth through real textures, human-made strokes, and intentional imperfections.
We want to move away from overly polished, artificial aesthetics and reconnect with the beauty of the manual process. To help you shape your submissions, the Organic Style Handmade guide is available, featuring references and key concepts to support you in creating resources aligned with what users are searching for.

💥 Chaotic Maximalism Challenge: The Art of Abundance
If your style leans toward energy and detail, the Chaotic Maximalism Challenge is now open for your participation.
We invite you to create rich, saturated compositions where visual abundance finds meaning through carefully constructed balance. We’re looking for complex patterns, dense illustrations, and scenes where every detail adds intention and depth.
Don’t forget to explore the Chaos Maximalism guide to dive deeper into the creative approach and develop visually impactful resources.
