March Memes Challenge

As we all know memes are basically the lifeblood of the interwebs. They give us great content to share, help to express our emotions, make us laugh, and connect people from all over the world. While some memes have text that accompanies them, they are generally described as content that’s shareable and based on a trending topic, you know like sloths or unicorns. Having said that let’s make some internet history:

Over the next 4 weeks we’ll issue you a design challenge.

• We give you a theme that’s trending.
• You use the theme to create some new meme-worthy designs.
• You share your new meme using #MarchMemes and #Redbubble on Instagram or Twitter.
• You upload your designs to Redbubble and make sure to use the hashtag #MarchMemes.
• You could win $100 and get featured on the Redbubble homepage.

That’s right, this challenge is taking place on Instagram AND Twitter. This way you have more than one way to participate, much awesome, so wow. To give you some inspiration, and show what March Memes is all about, check out some trending works below, and get those creative ideas flowing to make the next trending design.

Here are some tips to help when designing viral content.

1. Only use text when necessary. The best viral content inspires others to develop their own stories based on the concept.
2. Create the design using your individual style. We want to see great original memes from your perspective.
3. Trending topics connect people, and new forms of that topic keep it fresh, so think a new way to present the topic.
4. Your meme-worthy creations will be added to products, so keep in mind how your design will look on each product.
5. Have Fun!
