J-FASHION COMMUNITY EVENTS
#Instagramarye 2022
#Instagramarye, our Gramarye related Instagram challenge, is returning as a month-long event. We have curated a list of 8 prompts for you to draw inspiration from. We are not including descriptions for the themes in order to encourage creativity in their interpretation. Want to design a coord around a theme? Or are you getting “halloween decor” vibes from the word instead? It’s up to you!
​
In addition to these prompts, we will be giving away some prizes! Every #Instagramarye prompt post submitted will earn you an entry for a chance to win a Halloween and fall themed prize pack donated by some spooky Bay Area Kei team members. This challenge will run from October 1st and end on October 31st at 11:59pm PDT. A winner will be chosen at random and contacted via email after the event ends.
​
(Please note: if you just want to participate in the challenge for fun, you do not have to enter the prize drawing)
