Arts & Crafts are an essential part of every summer camp! For your next Creative Camp assignment, we're challenging you to channel your inner artiste and translate the beauty of The Great Outdoors in a captivating piece of 2D art (digital or analog).

If you don't already know, this summer Tongal is hosting a virtual Creative Camp for all our community members and everyone is invited to join in on the fun! Each week between now and the end of July, we’re launching a new Creative Camp-themed project designed to fire up your imagination, push your creative boundaries, and build life-long friendships between you and your fellow campers.

Here’s a sneak peek at the type of projects we’ve got planned for you:

• Challenge #1: Camp Taglines
• Challenge #2: The Great Outdoors (Hey, that’s this week!)
• Challenge #3: Scary Stories (Vlog)
• Challenge #4: Snack Break (Collaboration Project - Recipe Videos)
• Challenge #5: Camp Director Pitch (Pitch Video)
• Challenge #6: Dear Diary (Script)

What You Need To Know

• Each week during Creative Camp, on Thursday at 12 noon PT, we’ll launch a new challenge
• Each challenge will remain open for submissions until the final day of Camp on July 31, at noon PT
• Once received and vetted as eligible, each submission will be made viewable on Tongal where Tongal Community members can see and give feedback on your creation
• You are highly encouraged to participate in ALL challenges (and if you do, you’ll be eligible for special prizes!), although you’re also perfectly welcome to only participate in the challenges that most interest you
• Because paying import fees suck, soft prizes may be substituted with prizes of the same approximate retail value (“ARV”) for non-US prize-winners 
• By submitting, you are granting Tongal permission to share your work across our channels, however you will retain the rights to your submission. Please do not upload your submission anywhere else until winners have been announced and this Project has closed. Thank you!

• FOUR GREAT OUTDOORS PROJECT RUNNER-UPS will each receive a Tongal care package containing swag, camp goodies and a handwritten letter from “Mom” (ARV $25)
• CREATIVE CAMP GRAND PRIZE: EVERYONE WHO SUBMITS an eligible submission to ALL SIX Creative Camp Projects will be considered for an additional prize of $500, which Tongal will award to the person who submitted the overall best body of work in light of the six projects' objectives and the judging criteria.

Animal. Vegetable. Mineral. Submit your original artwork or photos illustrating the beauty and ruggedness of the natural world. From mountains to beaches, forests to deserts, wow us and your fellow Campers with your most glorious images capturing the wildness of the planet we all share. 

Creators from all backgrounds and levels of experience are encouraged to participate. You may submit a photo or artwork that you've previously created OR get inspired to go out into the world and make something brand new. While humans may appear in your image (we're animals afterall ;) ), don't forget that the focus of your submission should always be The Great Outdoors.

--Target Audience: Just us Tongalers!

--Exposure: Tongal website and social channels
