2025 CRAFT + DESIGN CANBERRA DAILY CREATIVE CHALLENGE OVERVIEW In July 2025 we encourage our community to participate in our challenge and redefine what creativity is.

Now in its 4th year the Challenge explores the theme of Rewilding, a call to return to untamed creativity, embrace imperfection, and connect with the raw, natural forces that shape both art and life.

We invite you to engage in daily creative practice to rediscover inspiration and inner peace in any medium, such as clay, fabric, ink, digital tools, paint or writing.

REGISTRATION DEADLINE: Tuesday 1 July 2025 (Late registrations up to 7 July 2025 at 5pm)

REGISTER NOW HOW THE CHALLENGE WORKS The Challenge is simple and it is free to sign up. Once registered, you will receive daily word prompts related to the theme of Rewilding via email throughout July. Create your response using any creative technique and post an image to Instagram with hashtag #CDCCREATIVECHALLENGE25.

At the end of July submit your work to be eligible for over $8000 worth of prizes and to have your work showcased in our online exhibition. (Examples of previous online exhibitions can be found Here.
