Hello Idowu. 

You were supposed to include your stack trace so that there can be a proper diagnosis of the problem. Now we can only guess. 

I guess you are submitting your form with the `description` field empty because your defined it with `blank=True` in your models.py. If you want to be able to save the model with the description field empty, you need to add `null=True` to the description field's arguments.

Wrong diagnosis. You would not get a "field is required" message, but "this field cannot be null" (which comes from the model layer, not the form layer).

 

The problem is two-fold:

1) You're trying to do everything yourself that's already abstracted. Use at minimum generic.FormView

2) The image field: it is required and you're not passing request.FILES to the form.

 

And maybe a third: encoding type of the form should be set correctly.
