The Canva Design Challenge - How to Create a Win-Worthy Design and Enter the Canva Design Challenge


How to Enter the Canva Design Challenge:






Hi everybody welcome back!  It's been a minute!  In this post I am going to teach you all about the Canva Design Challenge - what it is, how to enter, and how to create a win-worthy design!



First off,

What it the Canva Design Challenge?:

The Canva Design Challenge is a weekly challenge hosted by, Canva, of course.  You design something in the theme, post it online, and you could win a Canva Prize Pack.  Learn more about this below ↓


How to Enter:

1. Go to Canva.com or if you have the app then open the app.






2. Click this⤴ button 'Weekly Challenge"





3. Each week, there is a new theme.  This week is Pineapple.  Canva tells you what the theme is in the second slide






4. Design something on Canva inspired by the week's theme, using Canva's elements.






5. Once you've finished creating, download your design


6. Post your design on Instagram or Twitter, using the hashtag #canvadesignchallenge


7. That's it!  Now just wait and fingers crossed you win!  To see how to design an win-worthy design, check out the instructions below



How to Create a Win-Worthy Design:

If you are gonna enter, you want to make a great design that will win, right?  Well here are some things that you can do to make an awesome design:


1. Use the right colours
Make sure your colour scheme matches the theme.  For example:

Pineapple - yellow, tropical, summertime colours

Horoscope - purple, dark colours

Unicorn - pastel, light colours, what you typically see on a unicorn - blue, purple, pink

Love - this one's pretty obvious, but - red and pink

Outdoors - colours you see outside, different shades or green, brown, yellow & orange (sun)

Using the correct colours is very important


2. Pro Tip for Choosing the Colours for your design
Here is a trick for knowing a colour you should use in your design - the background colour of the instructions slides - in the first weekly challenge design you open up.  This is only for the first copy.  If you open up a second copy, the background is usually just a blue gradient.



2. Make sure it fits into the theme
This is VERY important,  If it doesn't fit the theme, you're not likely to win. Don't just put random things.  Make sure your design suits the theme.


3. Only use Canva elements
Canva doesn't want you to use random images you find on the internet - or even your own photos, they want you to use THEIR elements.  You can find fun and free elements under the element tab in canva.


4. Get Inspiration
If you can't think of anything, simply just search the hashtag #canvadesignchallenge to get some ideas.  Just make sure you don't copy someone's design, or make it too similar!


5. Finally, make sure it looks good
Don't make it look messy, just throwing random things that (don't or do) fit the theme.  Make sure that  each element is in a good spot, and it's organized.


Good luck!  I will be posting my entry on my Instagram @stickynoteinsta, go check it out! And remember - if you don't win - there's always next week!

  Thanks Giving:    🦃 This is the first holiday ever since I started Sticky Note, so I know I have to do a post about it.  Oh, and by the way - Happy Thanks Giving! What is Thanks Giving About? Thanks Giving  is about being thankful for what you have, and spending time with the people you care about.  If you don't normally see the people you care about the most, try to make an effort to visit them on this special day. Things I Am Thankful For I am going to tell you some things I am thankful for, and when you are done reading this blog post please write a list of what you are thankful for in the comments.  You can write the big things you are thankful for, like shelter, family and friends, or, you can write about the little things you are thankful for, like viewers, books, and entertainment.  It doesn't matter.  But I am going to write about both the little things, and the big things.
