Altenew Monthly Inspiration Challenge: Current Theme, Rules & How to Enter
Each month an Altenew designer shares a photo, and you make a project inspired by it. Altenew products should be the focus, but other brands are fine. Enter as many times as you like through the Inlinkz. Four winners get a $30 Altenew gift certificate.
📌 Latest we checked: October 2026 (host Nicki Baxley, a Rhode Island fall-market photo): ends October 31 at 11:55pm Eastern. Winners announced November 10 on Altenew's Instagram.
