If you HAVE already received your participation number for September, you can find the monthly information below. There are downloadable PDF versions of the theme list and translated versions of the list available, too. (Find the download section below the photos of the theme list). A copy of the theme list will also be added to the Announcements section of the Inspiration to Paint group.
Attention! Signups for the September Challenge WILL CLOSE on September 10th! To officially participate in the Inspiration to Paint challenge on Facebook, you need to SIGN UP to receive a participation number for the month. If you have NOT signed up yet, please send a message to us here: http://m.me/InspirationtoPaint/
If you do NOT have a September participation number, you may still follow along if you want the practice, but please share your work in our “Inspiration to Paint FAMILY” group here: http://www.facebook.com/groups/inspirationtopaintfamily/, instead of the Main Challenge group! You do not need to use any hashtags if you aren’t officially signed up.
Signups will reopen for the OCTOBER 2022 challenge in the later part of September.
If you are not signed up, you may only share your work in the Inspiration to Paint Family group and will not qualify for the monthly prize. You MAY enter the optional mini contests, if you like.

~On ANY theme day, please try to keep the subject matter suitable for general audiences. Please remember that we have members of all ages and backgrounds in the group. Also, please try to avoid controversial statements and comments when posting in the group. We ask for a NO POLITICS policy in posts and comments, please. If you have any problems, do not engage with the post, just report the post or comment and/or tell the admin team, and trust that we will deal with it.

September is sponsored by the Inspiration to Paint group
Our monthly winner for September will receive a special gift!!
Please use #inspirationtopaint when posting your designs on social media. 🙂
Any questions about the challenge, ask in the Inspiration to Paint Family group or ask your admin team.
Please remember to be KIND to others and to YOURSELF!!! Putting down your own work also affects others who are inspired by you! No need to apologize for a “bad” design or look for faults…look for the positive things, or lessons you learned instead. 🙂 ❤
The whole point of the group is to INSPIRE you to practice and paint as often as possible! So if you miss a day (or two, or five….), keep on painting and posting, as often as you are able for the month!
Your hashtags for the month should be included on every daily post. It is helpful to save them to a “note” on your phone or computer, so it’s easy to copy and paste them into your post each day.
For this month, the Official hashtags are:
#(Your first name and your September participation number) with NO spaces. For example, mine is #marie9 Note: Find your participation number in the Facebook message you were sent when you signed up.
#(Your hometown or area and facepainter) with NO spaces. Example: #newjerseyfacepainter
