The theme for the 2026 Hall Challenge is Treasures!
This theme can be interpreted in many different ways. Quite literally your piece could demonstrate a treasure chest spilling with gems. But if you think about the theme, a little more figuratively, you could come up with all sorts of things: Something you love, what someone else cherishes, things that need or relish one another.
