    2024 InstaLent Photo Challenge

    Looking for a creative way to incorporate spiritual reflection into your daily routine this Lent? Our InstaLent photo challenge is back and better than ever!

    Join the Busted Halo InstaLent Photo Challenge throughout the season of Lent (until Easter). Lent is a time to reflect and draw closer to God, so we hope to do just that with the creative ideas for photo-sharing we’ll provide each day. Get ready, and get creative! Your Instagram feed is about to look a whole lot like Lent.

    How do you participate?

    • Share our InstaLent image (below) on Instagram so we know you are participating in the challenge.
    • Take a picture following the prompt for the day and write a brief reflection on what the photo and prompt mean to you. Don’t forget to use the hashtag #BHLent2024 in the caption, and tag or mention @bustedhalo in your posts!
    • If you’re not on Instagram, no worries! You can still participate in the fun by uploading your Lent photos to Twitter (X) or Facebook. Be sure to use the hashtag #BHLent2024 and mention @bustedhalo.

    Need an extra incentive? Every week, a few lucky participants will receive a gift card to the Busted Halo store!

    We can’t wait to see your photos! May your journey through Lent be an enriching experience.
