Here are the official guidelines about the Inktober Trademark and how you can legally use the Inktober name and logo:

If you are an individual participating in Inktober:

Inktober is FREE to participate in. The hashtag #inktober is also free to use. You can post your inktober drawings with the word inktober on it, the logo on it, and with the hashtag on them as well.

If you are an individual wanting to sell your inktober drawings:

As a participating artist, you can certainly sell your Inktober drawings. I hope you do if you want to! You can also reference Inktober in the sale of your drawings, but you need to do so in the following manner:

• Please don’t use the INKTOBER logo, unless you have written permission or license to do so.

• You can use the word INKTOBER together with the year of participation (i.e. INKTOBER 2022).

• Your personal published works may use INKTOBER + Year as a subtitle, not as a leading title on the cover. For example, it’s ok to use the subtitle “based on INKTOBER 2022 prompts” or similar reference.

If you are an organization that wants to hold a not-for-profit inktober event:

Are you wanting to use the logo and name for a not-for-profit event at your school, library, museum, gallery, etc? Please request a permission form from jake@inktober.com. Approved submissions will receive a logo packet with logo usage guidelines.
