Tolkien Trewsday: Amon Hen Art Challenge

Tolkien Trewsday: Amon Hen Art Challenge

One of the things we love with Tolkien Trewsday is the incredible creativity of the community - and the chance to help share and celebrate outstanding Tolkien-inspired artwork.

This August, we’re delighted to once again collaborate with Amon Hen, the bulletin of The Tolkien Society, to present a special series of weekly art prompts. Thanks to the generosity of artists who allow their work to be featured, Amon Hen is filled with stunning imagery - and this challenge is a wonderful opportunity to contribute to that tradition.

Artists of all kinds and in all mediums are warmly encouraged to take part, and we’re excited to see what the community creates over the coming weeks!

If you have any questions or would like to submit your work for consideration in Amon Hen, please contact: amonhen@tolkiensociety.org.

Thank you,

Calvin (Amon Hen Editor-in-Chief), Tim (Tolkien Trewsday lead) and the Tolkien Trewsday steerage team
