Leanoreween 2026 Is Coming — Mark Your Calendar

Hey friends — Quick calendar check before spooky season fully eats our brains: I already posted the big Leanoreween 2026 Art & Creativity Challenge announcement (watch the video there if you haven’t). The short version of the vibe: it’s built for human creatives of all art forms and mediums, with more focus on the creative part and less “finish this in a panic by midnight or perish.” Dates that matter: • October 1 — prompts drop • October 4 — the challenge officially starts So don’t stress if you’re not ready to make anything today. Save the post, peek at the video, get your sketchbook / tablet / yarn / clay / cursed Microsoft Paint file warmed up, and come back when the prompts land. Questions before we start? Ask away. See you October 1st (and then for real on the 4th), Leanore
