January Photo-a-day Challenge

If you’re on Instagram {or Facebook or even Twitter} you may have noticed a little things doing the rounds called Photo a day challenge {with the hashtag #JANphotoaday}. Thousands of people all over the world are taking photos, using the list above as inspiration and sharing them via social media channels.

The response has been crazy, and inspiring and touching. Over 30,000 photos have been shared and it’s only day 6. Crazy!

If you haven’t yet jumped on board, feel free to start now – and either play catch-up or just do from today forward.

There are no rules when it comes to playing along. Just take a photo and share it. Use the hashtag #JANphotoaday so that others can find your photos {if sharing on Instagram or Twitter}. You can strictly follow the list, or use it as a launchpad for inspiration.

If you’ve shared on your blog, on Facebook, on Tumblr or on Flickr {or somewhere else} you can share your URL below so we can check them out.

I’ll be creating a photo-based challenge each month, so stay tuned here for the announcement for next month’s challenge. Yay!

  20. YeeHaaa it's only taken me 11 days to twig there's this group happening while I've been diligently entering every day. Great to be here, happy snapping everyone ;!)

  21. Chantelle,
    I have been participating now for about a week and have noticed something. Well, aside from the blast I am having…

    Your day 13 is my day 12. Would it be alright for me to post a day early?? I notice that people searching for day 13 only find day 12 on my blog. Just thought I'd ask! And I am NOT ready with MY tomorrow (day 13) photo yet anyway! 🙂

  22. I'm late to the party, but decided to participate after being inspired by everyone's amazing photos. Super fun idea! Thanks Chantelle for such a great idea.
