October 2026 DA Ambassador Badge Challenges

Each month, @DA-Ambassadors and @Community Affiliated Groups host creative challenges for their members, offering an opportunity to earn that month's shared Profile badge.

🍂 October Theme: Haunted Halloween

As the nights grow longer and the veil grows thinner, October's challenges celebrate all things spooky and mysterious, inviting deviants from around the world to create and connect through art 🎃😱

🎨 October 2026 DA Ambassador Badge Challenges

• @color-me-club: Earn the October 2026 Group Profile Badge!

• @CRLiterature: Spin a #HauntedHues tale this October!

• @DeviantAI: Earn The #HauntedHues Profile Badge

• @DevNews: Haunted Hues: The October Group Badge

• @Fan-Art-World: Haunted Hues Fan Art Badge Challenge

• @Traditionalists: October Badge Challenge - Haunted Hues

🏅 How to earn the badge

Participate in any of the challenges listed above and follow the instructions in that Group's journal. When you're done creating and ready to submit your deviation, make sure to include #HauntedHues under Tags before submission.

Once your deviation's live, you can confirm that you've earned the badge by visiting the About tab on your Profile.

Didn't get the badge?

Here are two things to check:

• Typos, a badge enthusiast's worst enemy!

• Make sure the tag was included the first time you submitted your piece. If you added it later, the badge won't trigger, so you'll need to delete and resubmit your deviation.

Everything looks correct, but still no badge? Submit a Help Desk ticket and our team will happily take a look!

ℹ️ This Profile badge is earned through community challenges hosted by DeviantArt Ambassadors. While different Ambassador-led Groups may offer similar challenges, each month's shared badge can only be earned once. You're welcome to participate in as many challenges as you like!

✨ Keep an eye out for next month's Ambassador badge challenges and a brand-new theme! ✨
