Art Contest
June 14, 2020 - June 27, 2020
Animal Crossing has the unique ability to draw in people from all walks of life. For this event we would like to see artwork that celebrates our diverse community and showcases the wholesome aspect of Animal Crossing that we all know and love. Pick a topic that resonates with you and express it within the context of Animal Crossing. Remember that the focus of this contest is about celebrating diversity and promoting inclusivity, so please keep entries positive and upbeat and take care to avoid stereotyping!
Update June 24:
Vrisnem said:If anyone wishes to make changes to their existing artwork, please be sure to do so in a new post (do not edit it into your old one because I won't see it) and specifically state that it is an update to a previous submission. You may only do this one time. I will not take responsibility for anyone's entry being missed if you do not follow these instructions.
Task
Celebrating diversity and promoting inclusivity using Animal Crossing themed artwork.
Rules
- This art contest is for drawing and painting only. You may only use content you have made yourself from scratch - this means that you cannot use craft supplies, make sculptures, use renders, etc.
- Entries may be traditional or digital. Please scan or take a clear picture of any traditional artwork - it would be a shame for your work to be ruined by a bad photo!
- Your entry must fit the Celebrating Diversity theme.
- Only one entry per person. No plagiarism or collaborations.
- Please write your forum username either directly onto your entry or include it on a separate name card. You may submit two separate images of your entry (one with your username and one without) if you prefer. This means we will not need to blur your name out of the photo if your entry is nominated.
- Once your entry has been submitted it cannot be edited.
- Please put effort into your submission. If we think your entry lacks effort, or has been submitted as a joke, then it'll be disqualified.
- Keep content suitable for a PG-13 audience. If it would breach our Rules & Guidelines then it's not suitable here.
- Entries that fail to meet the requirements will not be accepted.
Submission
When your entry is finished, submit it by posting in this thread. Your entry cannot be edited after it has been submitted.
Submissions must be in by June 27th at 11:59PM EDT.

FAQs
Does it have to be a drawing or can I enter an alternative arts and craft project?
For this contest we are only accepting traditional and digital drawings.
Can I use fonts in my artwork?
Digital text is acceptable as long as everything else was drawn by you. Renders or editing game artwork is not allowed.
Who will decide who wins? The staff or members' votes?
The staff will vote internally to nominate entries. The entries with the most staff votes will then go forward to a public poll within one week of the contest closing. The recipients for the first, second, and third place prizes will then be decided on by the community.
