NOTE: THE DUE DATE IS NOW 5/27/2017. THERE WAS AN EXTENSION.

I apologize; the day I made the thread, there were so many dates going through my head. Hopefully, this does not impede anyone's schedule. Sorry.

Hello, everyone! I hope everyone has been doing well. That is correct! You have read the title correctly. It is time for the art contest once more!

In other words, welcome to the Gumball's Wiki Art Contest - April/May 2017!

The Purpose

Now as many as of you know, up until three months ago, the art contest was "postponed" (using the term very lightly here). On January of 2017, for the first time in over a year, the contest was revived.

Now, the contest in January served as a "test run" of sorts. It existed to see whether there was still an interest for a wiki-wide art contest. To my surprise, the event proved to be success, bringing in a total of seventeen participants each with his/her own submission.

The success of the previous contest means that this can hopefully become a regular event on the wiki to the same success or perhaps to an even greater success!

The Overview

Now, the point of this event is pretty simple. Artists submit their artwork, and then, the community votes for winning submissions.

What do the winners receive? Well, the three winning pieces well be displayed on the front page for everyone to see. It may not be much, but to have your artwork be shown to Gumball fans that visit this wiki is something to take pride in, in my opinion.

Yes, I am aware that the photo displays the title "Drawing Contest". However, this contest is not limited to drawing. Any form of art that can be captured as a screenshot is perfectly eligible. Including, but not limited to:

2D Drawing

3D Models

Clay figures

Photography

As long as your image's theme is Gumball-related, create to your heart's content!

Submitting your artwork is simple! All you have to do to submit your work is a leave a comment with your artwork uploaded to this wiki.
