PUPA Butterfly Badge 2025

0 min read

Hello dear ArtChrysalis members! [GIF] The PUPA Challenge is posted each month in a year, so in total there are 12 PUPA Challenges per year. Depending on how many PUPA artworks each artist created in the specific year, the artist gets the appropriate butterfly badge. The artwork can be made during the official period of the individual PUPA Challenge or made after, as part of the Late PUPA. But it has to be made in the current year. This is mostly fair to the members who join the group in a later time.
