# Emote/Emoji Challenge (Completed)

## The Brief

There are 2 new ways to express yourself in the Monaverse:

The Emote Wheel + The Emoji Menu

To celebrate these new features, we’re asking you - how will you express?

* Create a custom emote animation for explorers to use inside the Monaverse.
* Create a custom emoji (image) for use in Mona and 👾Discord
