Start your year with CREATIVITY!

Please invite others, the journey is better when shared.
Simple Challenge Rules:
Daily creativity. (yes, daily)
The goal is to do something creative EVERY day in the month of January.
You define your own creativity!

Frequently Asked Questions:
Do I have to create EVERYDAY?
No! You can participate as much or as little as you would like. Or, you can simply sit back and cheer others on. The intent of this challenge is simply to motivate you to be more creative in your daily life (and hopefully finish some projects!)
How do I win a prize?
You are entered into the drawing by posting in the Facebook group! And, your post MUST start “Day 1,” “Day 2,” etc. The number is the day of the month.
How will I know if I won? And how will I get my prize?
I will make a post in Facebook group announcing the winners of each prize. I will send a private message via Facebook to the winner with the prize provider to connect them for the prize to be mailed / delivered.
I’m not on Facebook – can I still participate?
Unfortunately, for this year’s challenge, we are only accepting entries submitted in the Facebook group. It makes it easier to manage and it creates a better creativity community. BUT, if you post on Instagram utilizing the tag #hibernateandcreate . . . there are also a chance for a few surprise prizes. Keep in mind, the main focus of the challenge is the participation in the Facebook group.
What happens after the challenge is over?
The group continues on encouraging each other through out the year! Keep on posting your projects, ask questions or simply browse for inspiration.
