About

A creative prompt-driven challenge that encourages positive creative habits.

Alternatober offers an alternative to other prompt challenges for the month of October. We welcome creative types of all sorts, with the goal of helping participants to generate new perspective and try new things.

Rather than dictating inking, sketching, or any other specific medium, Alternatober asks you to express yourself however you like. Anything goes here, as long as you are stretching your creative muscles. Makeup, photography, papercraft, music, writing, doodles, recipes, or whatever else helps you express yourself, we want to see (or hear) what you’ve got.

If you don’t like a prompt, don’t worry, there’s an alternative. Don’t like that option? Go to the community and see if they can help you spin it into something you do.

Alternatober aims to foster a community of creatives. All art is good art, and we want to live in a world where people feel free to express themselves however they like. Check out the work other people have made with the hashtag #Alternatober.

Have fun. Make art. That’s it.
