30works30days is a month-long project where participants are required to submit a new piece of work, every day for the month of April. The project is open to everyone and any medium is encouraged. If you fail to submit something on one of the days, you are out of the project.
30/30 is to encourage making and experimentation, testing what you think you know about your practice. With the restriction of one day you may find that the choices you make, the corners you cut, and those ideas that you couldn’t quite realise, are just as telling as the work that you produce. Be as lazy or ambitious, as devious or honest as you like. Remember it is your choice and ultimately your representation of the concerns within your practice.
In 2020 1,108 people of all ages participated from 42 countries around the world!
You will be able to see works being submitted everyday throughout April on the live feed and by following #30works30days
This year we will run three online events for 30/30 participants, with support from Artquest.
Deadline for registration is 23:59 on Sunday 28th March 2021.
If you’re unable to pay the registration fee, or have any questions, please email us at:

FAQ
How do you submit the work?
When the project starts, you will be sent an email everyday to submit your work online through a portal with your own log in.
I've signed up ... what now??
You will receive an email from us by Monday 30th March with important information on how to sign in to your portal and create a personal account where you can submit your work everyday! Please make sure to read this and refer to it throughout the project before contacting 12ø with any problems.
Do you have to submit a work every day?
Yes! By 23:59 BST (GMT+1) that day.
Will I be able to join the project after the deadline (28/03/2021), or is it too late?
Unfortunately, the challenge will have begun and it is too late to join this year, but sign up to our mailing list or follow us on social media to be reminded for next year. The deadline is set to give us enough time to sign everyone up with an account properly.
Do I have to follow the briefs?
No, the briefs are just there as a prompt if you need one.
I can't find my brief today!
Check your spam/junk/promotions folders. If it's not there email info@12ocollective.com with the subject line '30/30 help'.
Will my work be showcased?
If you opt into sharing your work, it will be featured on the daily live feed. Several works will be highlighted each day on our Instagram and we encourage participants to share their work on their social media accounts using #30works30days so you can find each other!
Does it cost to take part?
Yes, the registration fee is a minimum of £4.50 but if you are able to contribute more, all fees go towards 12ø’s running costs for 30/30 (except for the 50p which is going to Outsavvy booking platform). If you cannot afford to pay the £4.50 fee or are under 18, you can contact us for free registration.
Will I be able to get a refund?
No.
