All submission must be a still image rendered at a 16:9 format landscape orientation, at 1920px by 1080px minimum in a *.jpg or *.png file format. You can render at higher dimensions is you'd like to, and it is encouraged.
Along with the final submission, participants are recommended to also post development in the Discord channel🔧-work-in-progress to show participation. A single wireframe or screenshot could do!
All 3D work must be done in Blender and/or the fork Bforartists. If you render in Bforartists, you get a 10% bonus for the qualification.

Participants should aspire to push their skills! Be it with technique, style or detail - striving for quality, we want to show the best of the best.
This is your time to shine, if you couldn't make it as a Blender Splashscreen, you could make it here.
I will be seeking out punchy and creative pieces that has fresh and innovative flair. This includes detail, texture, balance, contrast, story and composition.
Appreciating the beauty and harmony of the visual elements and the overall impression of the work. This could include colour, design and intention.
I will be evaluating the level of mastery and proficiency in using the tools and techniques of the chosen medium.
Brownie points if you use Bforartists in your final render!

This event takes some preparation, research, and some confidence to reach out to special guests. I put in time to prepare the topics and to present them to you so that you can learn more about the digital art community - and this means less work elsewhere. This is an effort.
You can support the event with a small one time or re-occuring donation. With your support, I can continue to grow the community, create content for you and help sponsor development for Bforartists. Every token is a huge motivator.
Alternatively you can support with action by sharing topics you'd like me to discuss, asking questions to address, suggesting special guests, or applying as a special guest for the show. Feel free to reach out in the contact form down below.
I maintain a small private and independent animation studio in the metropolitan city of Bogota, Colombia - available to work locally or through remote work.
Leave a message and get in touch! I'll get back to you as soon as possible.
