Market Day: August Monthly Challenge 🎪🧶


This month, we’re teaming up with Long Thread Media to celebrate the creativity, passion, and artistry behind handmade makers! :purple_heart:

The Market Day Challenge is all about creating your own handmade market stall. Whether you sell at craft fairs, have a booth at conventions, or simply dream of having your own market someday, this challenge is for you!

Style your handmade creations as if you were setting up your very own market stall. It can be a real booth from a fair or pop-up market, or a dream display created right at home. We can’t wait to see your creativity shine!

Here’s how to join in:

  • Create a market stall display using your handmade creations, either at a real event or as a styled setup at home
  • Post a journal on the Challenge Submission Pattern with your stall/dream stall display picture
  • Share your journal in the comments below

Here’s an example by our co-founder @lir showing her dream stall display (with mainly toys made for her kid…:squinting_face_with_tongue:)

Entries run from August 3rd to September 6th.

On September 7th, Ribbot will pick 5 favorite entries, and each winner will receive 50 gems :gem_stone:
