3️⃣ Introducing the FIRST EVER The January Challenge: Schools Competition!
Schools across the country have been taking part in The January Challenge for years. This year, we have been working with schools to co-create our first ever Creativity Champions Pack for Schools, with each creative prompt tailored for use in different education settings - for both staff and students.
To celebrate, we're launching a Schools Competition! We’re looking for enthusiasm, creativity, and a spirit of community. It's not about being the best artist. Share your January Journey with us, and be in with a chance of winning some brilliant prizes.
Why Join? The January Challenge is for the entire school community—including teachers! It’s a fun opportunity, supported by a free and accessible resource that everyone can enjoy. While five schools will win exciting prizes, every school benefits by creating lasting memories, strengthening community bonds, and developing valuable skills.
How to Enter the Schools Competition:
✅ Sign up your school: Download the free Creativity Champions Pack for Schools.
✅ Dive into the prompts: Use the 31 creative prompts to inspire lessons, assemblies, projects, meetings and clubs. Go for it!
✅ Share your creativity: Post photos or videos of your activities on social media, tag us, and use #TheJanuaryChallenge, or email us your photos at [email protected]. Entries are open between 1-31st January.
What You Could Win:
Five schools will receive exciting prizes - a hamper of goodies, and a free creative workshop - to celebrate their creativity. We'll also be celebrating individual students and staff demonstrating exceptional collaboration during the Challenge.
On your marks, get set…spread the word!
Do
Three weeks until The January Challenge! So this week, three is the magic number…
Find three objects around you. These are your artists' materials! You might choose three random objects to balance into a sculpture. You might choose a pen, a notepad and a table - and time to journal, doodle or write awaits! You might choose three different colours to make a splash with. You might choose three people to dance with….
Let the theme of ‘three’ inspire your creations.
Think
Did the three things you choose have a connection or were they totally random?
How does this influence what you created?
