Artist Under Wraps Birthday Art Contest

2026

    About

    Welcome to my 4th annual art contest! (would be 5th, but I was too busy last year..)
    Every year I throw an art contest that lasts a few months leading up to my birthday in September.
    I started this tradition in 2021 on Amino and it went quite well (and I enjoyed organizing it) so I have continued it!
    This is now my art contest hub where I will post updated rules, prizes, and entries every year.
    I usually offer a multitude of prizes including money, commissions, handmade items, Animal Jam items/currency, and more.
    Check below for updates and this year's info!

    Details about this year:

    There will be one winner chosen for each place (first, second, third).Each contestant can only choose one prize category to win.By joining you agree to my TOS & the contest rules!*Check rules for more info.
