14 challenges · checked November 5, 2026
We have not confirmed additional month-specific contests for April 2027 yet. Below are the year-round prize challenges that keep running this month — themes and exact deadlines change each round, so always open the official page. Make something lovely, and maybe win something too. These card-making, papercraft and art challenges offer gift cards, store vouchers, winner badges or cash prizes. For each one we list the prize exactly as the organizer states it, how the winner is picked, and when it closes.
How prize challenges work: the organizer posts a theme, you make a new project, and you add the link to the link-up (or the gallery) before the deadline. Most prize draws pick a random eligible entry, so following the rules matters more than being "the best".
Prize draws: gift cards, vouchers & store creditEach of these challenges has a real prize stated on the organizer's own page, and most pick the winner at random, so a beginner has the same chance as anyone.

Prizes, deadlines and rules on this page are as posted on each organizer's own page when we checked on November 5, 2026 (Central time). Most change every round, and sponsors rotate, so the official page always wins. Where a prize isn't spelled out, we say "prize varies, see rules". We're not affiliated with any of these challenges, and nothing on this page is sponsored.
