GridFest 2026

GridFest 2026 is a celebration of 5 years of Grid App for Artists - a journey shaped by creativity, learning, and an incredible artist community. What started as a simple idea to help artists draw with confidence has grown into a platform used by creators across different styles and skill levels. GridFest is our way of celebrating this milestone and giving back to the artists who made it possible.
Over the past five years, we've seen artists grow, experiment, and push their limits using our tools. The support, feedback, and love from the community is what kept us going.

GridFest 2026 features a mega giveaway event where artists are invited to :
Share their art journey
Show how they use Grid App (or its features) creatively
Compete for exciting art kit prizes

❓ FAQs – Read Before Participating

Q. I am a small creator. Can I enter?

A. Yes, absolutely! Your number of followers does not matter. Judgment will be based on the quality and creativity of the reel, not on views or follower count. Everyone is welcome to participate 💛

Q. I do not use the grid method. How can I enter?

A. No worries! Our app includes many features beyond grids such as real-size view, zoom lock, easy rotate, infinite zoom, drafts to manage projects, and more. Even if you don’t use grids, you can creatively showcase how you use the app and still participate.

Q. I live outside India. How will I receive my prize?

A. For participants outside India, we’ll provide gift cards worth the art kit value, which you can use to purchase art supplies you need 😊

A. Not at all! Simple, honest reels work perfectly. We care about creativity and effort, not fancy editing 💛

Q. Can beginners participate?

A. Yes! This giveaway is open to artists of all levels, from beginners to professionals 🎨

Q. Do I need to show my face in the reel?

A. No. Showing your face is completely optional. You can show your art, process, screen recordings, or use a voice-over.

Q. Will reels with fewer views be considered?

A. Yes! Views and engagement do not affect judging. Selection is based purely on creativity and relevance.

Q. Can I submit more than one reel?

A. Yes you can for increased chances but only one reel per participant will be considered. So we will Choose your best one and evaluate on the basis of that.

Q. Can I edit or update my reel after posting?

A. Yes, minor edits are fine, but make sure the reel is not deleted and still follows all giveaway rules until the winners are announced.

Q. What happens if I forget to tag or use the hashtag?

A. Entries without the required tag or hashtag may not be considered, as we may not be able to find them.
