Hello there fellow theme enthusiasts, long time lurkers and random passersby! We are pleased to let you know we've got something new and exciting in store for both those curious about making themes for the first time and experienced theme designers looking for a challenge.

So without further ado we proudly announce the first ever monthly Telegram Theme Challenge!

At the start of every month, we will announce a new theme or topic to base a theme on. All you have to do to participate is to make a theme that fits that topic and submit it to @AndroidThemesGroup with the hashtag #themechallenge.

We’ll publish the best submissions from that month on the channel in a special new Theme Catalogue that will be home to all the best submissions, as well as other curated collections of themes.

Even if your great new theme doesn’t fit the current challenge, you can naturally still submit it to @AndroidThemesGroup using the hashtag #theme. The group is also a great place to get tips and ask for advice, and we will still keep publishing the best submissions to this channel on a regular basis.
September Theme Challenge
We thought we’d start the theme challenges off with something more seasonal — the autumn season to be specific. Show us what parts of autumn you like the most with your theme, whether that be the falling leaves, seasonal animals or what the season means to you in your part of the world.

Submit your theme to @AndroidThemesGroup with the hashtag #themechallenge. The deadline for submissions is the 30th September at 23:59 GMT, and the best submissions will be showcased soon after.
October Theme Challenge
Following from last month’s challenge this one may seem a little predictable, but we simply couldn’t resist (plus we’re way too impatient to wait another year). This month’s challenge is Halloween! Oh yes! 👻

Spooky environments, spooky costumes, spooky candy, spooky creatures, SPOOKY EVERYTHING.

Submit your spoookiest theme to @AndroidThemesGroup with the hashtag #themechallenge. The deadline for submissions is the 25th October at 23:59 GMT, and the best submissions will be showcased soon after. 👻

November Theme Challenge
No matter what side of the hemisphere you're on, November's rainy and stormy weather puts us in the mood for some quiet relaxation. So, to set aside the seasonal focus of the previous two months we've decided to make the Theme Challenge of this month on Meditation.

Instead of looking for themes that evoke a particular setting or object, consider this month's challenge to be specifically about the design of your theme. We're looking for themes that focus on clarity and that make use of colour in subtle ways, letting the elegance of the interface shine through.

Submit your theme to @AndroidThemesGroup with the hashtag #themechallenge. The deadline for submissions is the 30th November at 23:59 GMT, and the best submissions will be showcased soon after.

It’s December already?! 😱

*scrambles challenge together* 🚚🚚🚚

December Theme Challenge
It’s that time of year again, but nobody told us and there's no windows inside the Telegram Theme Basement to check. What we do know is that December brings with it many wonderful festivities, whether it be holidays like Christmas, New Year's Eve, Hannukah, Pancha Ganapati or the Winter Solstice. As such, we couldn’t possibly do without a festive theme challenge!

However you celebrate the month or whatever you enjoy most from it, we’d love to see it represented in a beautiful theme. Unlike previous challenges however, we will regularly post the best submissions throughout the month to ensure everyone is well equipped with festive themes.

As usual, submit your themes to @AndroidThemesGroup with the hashtag #themechallenge. The deadline for submissions is the 31st December at 23:59 GMT.
January Theme Challenge
We've been thinking about food a lot in the Telegram Theme Basement recently. While we love cooking eggs in all their forms for breakfast, it seems our enthusiasm got the better of us and as such, we're no longer allowed to since "The Incident". How do you beat eggs anyway? They can be scrambled, poached, fried, boiled, made into omelettes...

We could really do with some inspiration though, so this month's theme challenge is Breakfast! Show us your most favourite and delicious breakfast foods in the form of a theme, you can even choose eggs if you want, no matter how jealous that will make us.

Submit your theme to @AndroidThemesGroup with the hashtag #themechallenge. The deadline for submissions is the 31st January at 23:59 GMT, and the best submissions will be showcased soon after.

We’ve been really getting into stargazing recently in the Telegram Theme Basement. We’d stare out the small windows and count the stars and argue about which planet is the best (obviously Saturn) until the sun came up. In the process of being too tired to do anything productive however, we never appreciated the days and nights themselves. Then we’d start arguing about which time of day was better, much like in themes 😓. The eternal battle of light and dark themes wages on in both the basement and the theming community, but we wonder if there’s a way to bring these sides together…

While it’s unlikely the battle will ever end, the new Auto-Night Mode in Telegram 4.8 will let you get the best out of both light and dark themes. It’s a brand new feature located under Settings > Themes > Auto-Night Mode, and it lets you set any custom theme you want to appear after nightfall or in low-light conditions. Check out the official blog post for more details: https://telegram.org/blog/android-streaming#auto-night-mode

To celebrate this new addition, this month’s theme challenge is Day and Night! All you have to do is make two themes that each capture the essence of night and day, helping users enjoy the best that light and dark themes have to offer at the same time.

You can either make both themes yourself or work with a friend to make one each, and this time we’ll be posting theme submissions throughout the month.

Submit your theme to @AndroidThemesGroup with the hashtag #themechallenge. The deadline for submissions is the 28th February at 23:59 GMT, and the best submissions will be showcased soon after.

March Theme Challenge
Remember when we said last month that we got into stargazing? One month later and it’s still a favourite hobby of ours next to coin collecting and talking to ghosts. We still can’t decide what planet is our favourite though, and we’ve been staring at them for a really long time. You see where we’re going with this right?…

This month’s theme challenge is Planets! Whether real or imagined, close-up or far away we want to see all kinds of celestial bodies represented as beautiful themes.

Submit your theme to @AndroidThemesGroup with the hashtag #themechallenge. The deadline for submissions is the 31st March at 23:59 GMT, and the best submissions will be showcased soon after.

June Theme Challenge
After a little break we’re back with a brand new theme challenge! While we love the darker themes that came from the last two challenges, it’s time to make things brighter and more colourful. A lot more colourful…

So, we’ve decided to dive into the history of art and make this month’s Theme Challenge Pop Art! Based on the 1950’s art movement that sought to blur the line between pop art and fine art, we want to see themes that are inspired by its vivid and colourful reimagining of pop culture.

Submit your theme to @AndroidThemesGroup with the hashtag #themechallenge. The deadline for submissions is the 30th June at 23:59 GMT, and the best submissions will be showcased soon after.

April Theme Challenge
Remember when monthly theme challenges were a thing? We neither, but that's why we decided to give you a little bit of a head start on this one now that we bring you an all new challenge!

This month's theme challenge will obviously be all about eggs and spring(s)! - What do you mean "this isn't obvious at all"?

Fine, let us try to explain: When reviewing themes to post on this here channel we recently happened across an Easter egg in the Telegram Android client, which naturally got us thinking: What if there have been more Easter eggs all around us all along? Needless to say we've been on a wild Easter egg hunt all throughout the Telegram Theme Basement, spring-loadedly jolting from one corner of the room to another ever since and none of us have seen any sunlight for days.

We know it is customary for people all around the globe at this time of year to hide their eggs, but we would like to challenge you to instead present your most polished ones for everyone to see!
And please do also send some bright and colorful motifs to show us what nature has in store for us outside of our dusty, window-less Telegram Theme Basement this time of year, we are far too busy hunting eggs to even consider going outside to check for ourselves!

We're eggcitedly awaiting your eggcelent theme submissions to @AndroidThemesGroup with the hashtag #themechallenge. The deadline for submissions is the 30th April at 23:59 GMT, and the most egglightened submissions will be showcased soon after.
