Can I enter if I don't have a blog?

Yes. You can link photos from a personal photo share site (flickr, picasa) or Instagram. Tips on linking an Instagram entry: Post a photo of your project on your Instagram, tag it to @mixedmediamc and #mmmc . Next, visit your account via a computer/laptop (a non-mobile device) at instagram.com/(YourUserName) and then click on your entry photo. Copy the URL that shows in your browser and paste that URL to our gallery link up. Please make sure your account is public so we can comment on your entries!

Why is the challenge a full month?

The Mixed Media Monthly Challenge lasts for a month so players will have time to decide what type of  project they want to make, experiment with different techniques, view any related videos or tutorials and work on their projects at their own pace. Some mixed media techniques require using products that need drying time and many times there is a process of trial and error that takes time. We want to make sure you have time to make a project you are proud of.
