You may submit a maximum of ONE entry per category, up to five total entries, and will receive 10,000 marks per entry regardless of whether you win. Our winners for each category will be selected by myself, based on how much I personally like the piece and how interested I am in seeing it displayed around the gazebo. It's my own prize money, after all!

Every spacer is encouraged to enter this contest, regardless of Faction allegiance or experience level. If you have an idea, but lack the skills to implement it, please message me directly and I will assist in the creation of your submission.

The deadline to enter the contest will be Yarsday in the 2nd week of Aegis, 975 A.E.
(// Sync on 7/1/2024 -aka- end of June)

To submit your entry, please mail me the completed item(s) along with a message explaining its inspiration.

Best of luck, spacers! I look forward to seeing all of the beauty you can create.
