Ping & Party: 2026 Online Invitations Challenge

OVERVIEW

We are excited to announce the second challenge for Minted’s growing Online Invitations assortment! This second challenge for Minted’s Online Invitations aims to source about 85 designs, focusing primarily on Birthday, General Party (e.g., Dinner Party), and other specific categories. We anticipate sourcing an additional ~160 designs via file requests throughout the year. Online Invitations are considered an ideal entry point for new customers.

Please see the Challenge Brief, included in the Challenge Submission Kit, for an overview of the occasions we are hoping to source through this challenge, as well as additional details to keep in mind when creating designs for this new product category. We encourage you to pay close attention to the nuances of what can and cannot be customized, and how this translates to the submission templates. Reminder: Your design must be submitted in the template provided in the Challenge Kit. Designs that do not adhere to the template will not be accepted to this challenge.

General Guidelines:

  • There is a submission limit of 10 designs per artist. Digital foil and non-foil submissions are accepted; letterpressed designs are not.
  • We are not accepting repurposes to this Challenge. Instead, we will request artwork from other Challenges throughout the year to round out our assortment.
  • You will submit a desktop version, but your final design must be appropriate for mobile and desktop. Please see the Challenge Brief for more information on the Online Invitations Overview and submission templates.
