September Theme: “The Day Everything Changed”

This month, bring your imagination to life by illustrating a moment when everything changed! Whether it’s a magical event, a new discovery, or a surprising twist, show us how your world transforms through your art. You can use any medium—drawings, paintings, digital art, or mixed media—to express your vision of “The Day Everything Changed.”

Every month features a new theme and style to keep your creativity flowing, from abstract designs to realistic portraits, so there’s always something fresh to explore!
