Ho ho ho, everyone! It’s that time of year again, and Christmas is starting earlier and earlier. Thanksgiving held out as well as it could, but even ZNN must capitulate to the holiday spirit!

You might have noticed we didn’t do an art contest this Halloween, like we had in past years. That’s because this year, as you may have guessed from the title of this post, we’re having a Christmas art contest!

The theme is, of course, “The Holiday Spirit”. So, how do Nick, Judy, or any of the other characters from our favorite film celebrate the holidays? Does the ZPD have a party? Is there mistletoe? Does Bellwether get fruit cake in prison? That’s for you to make, and the community vote on!

The rules are similar to our past contests:

Contest begins December 1st

All entries must be submitted to [email protected] by Midnight (Pacific Standard Time) on December 24th (Christmas Eve).

by Midnight (Pacific Standard Time) on December 24th (Christmas Eve). Voting will begin December 25th (Christmas Day) and go through December 31st (New Year’s Eve)

Winners will be announced on January 1st (New Year’s Day)

Winner gets whatever piece of official Zootopia merchandise they want

Second and Third place get a Zootopia Funko Pop

We’re giving y’all almost exactly a month to make something special, and we can’t wait to see what y’all come up with! Good luck, and remember, as always…

Try Everything!
