Where earth and spirit unite
An opposition to the visible
A call of the purified souls
Emerges beyond, breaks freeDeliverance - an acroamatic halo
Deprivation - in particular obedience
Eclipsed - shackled and torn apart
Emptiness - devoid of heart and soul -

I build a small non-Euclidean hyperstructure with interior larger than exterior, presenting as a liminal space intersecting alternate dimensions.

That's also what I'm thinking.
11 hours ago, Luna the Great of all the Russias said:Question. At exactly what time will submissions be closed?
3/26/24 11:59 PM EDT, but I'm not worried about it as long as it's reasonably submitted around end of day 3/26 at latest.

Ok, I have to ask. Since we were offline for two whole days, does the due date if the art get pushed back, or no?
This is a good callout, thanks! I pushed the deadline (and voting period) back by 2 days.

Welcome to the MLP Forums March 2024 Visual Art contest
Welcome to the first Visual Art Contest of 2024! We took a brief intermission to make space for MCM, but we're excited to jump back into monthly art contests.
The theme for this month is:
Winter Wrap Up!
Requirements
- Create artwork of ponies (and/or other canon creatures or OCs) engaging in activities welcoming Spring
- This can depict Winter Wrap Up activities as seen in MLP G4, but by no means has to be limited to this: this was just the inspiration for the general theme
- You can depict your own interpretation of "Winter Wrap Up" activities, Spring cleaning, welcoming Spring or anything that you feel captures the spirit of Spring
- Some example ideas: waking up animals that hibernate, cleaning off snow, welcoming back birds that flew South for the winter
- Both canon and original characters are allowed, as well as any MLP generation
- All members of MLPF are eligible
- No AI art will be accepted, however it can be used for initial inspiration
- Animations no longer than 10 seconds are allowed
Deadline
Submissions will close on March 26th, 2024.
Judging
Public voting will be open during March 27th - April 1st, 2024. Afterwards, voting will be finalized within staff and results will be posted as soon as we are able to share them!
Winners
Winners will be granted the Canterlot Artist Rank and Badge. All entries will be eligible to receive an Art Achievement Bronze Badge. Future participation will count toward Silver and Gold Art Badges.
Submit Here (select Art Contest Submissions > 2024 Submissions > March 2024 Art Contest) or you can use the top navigation menu to add a submission.
If there are any additional questions, please feel free to ask!

What do I need to improve in my artwork to increase my chances of winning the next contest?
In full disclosure, I didn't vote for any submissions and overall did not play any role in deciding the winners. I don't feel like it would be fair for me to do so, since it's my job to help operate the event and allow the community to decide.
As a result, I can't offer any advice here since I want it to be fully in the hands of the community to decide each art contest's winner. Furthermore, there are no grading criteria or any other attempts at objective measurement: it's all up to each community member's subjective viewpoint, who chooses to participate in the poll.
In general, I would say for everyone to just continue participating if you find enjoyment in the process of doing so. Likely, the more someone participates the higher their chance of winning at some point.

This is a truly precious banner, and I am thankful beyond measure to still be a part of this community and to play a small role in an event as impactful as this, and with such a long history over the years. I will always cherish this.
I wish Jeric was still with us, and I've often found myself reading her posts and contributions to this event from years past. I regret many things, including not doing more for this particular event or any event in the past. Not being here when Jeric was still here. But I would like to believe that in a way, Jeric and all community members we have lost, in whatever way we have lost them, live on through the spirits of those here today and those we have yet to meet who will carry the legacy on.

GPT-4 wrote the following, based on my prompt: "Write a surreal, dreamlike and esoteric poem about the unseen mysteries underpinning the magic of Equestria."
QuoteIn Equestria's heart, where shadows dance with light,
A realm of whispered secrets, under the moon's gentle night.
Stars speak in riddles, in a sky so vast and deep,
Where dreams weave through the cosmos, in a never-ending sweep.Mystic rivers flow, with waters of liquid time,
Carrying tales untold, in a melody so sublime.
Forests hum ancient songs, trees sway in a silent choir,
Each leaf a note in the symphony of nature's tireless lyre.Unseen spirits glide, on wings of gossamer dreams,
Painting the world in hues of magic, or so it seems.
In every meadow's breath, in every flower's bloom,
Lies a piece of Equestria's heart, a fragment of its womb.Through the mists of enigma, where reality blurs and bends,
Lies the essence of magic, where beginning meets the end.
In this land of wonder, where the unseen mysteries play,
Equestria's magic thrives, in a dance of night and day.- 2

My hair is long, about down to the upper middle of my back. I've been growing it out as long as I can for going on 3 years now, because I love that style. It's definitely growing slower than I would like to the point where I question if I'll ever get it to the length / exact style I'm going for, but I might as well try while I still have hair.
My goal would be to achieve something resembling the style of the guy on the left with a hair color closer to the guy on the right:

MLP forum builds a city
in Forum Games
I build a dynamic levitated megastructure from attotechnological psychotronic metamaterials, serving as living art piece, nature preserve and perpetual free energy machine. The structure reacts to the emotions of its visitors, engineering unique experiences tailored for inspiration and education, while nurturing hypergeometric flora unbound from spatial and temporal axes. The metaphysical dance between heart and quantum reconfigurations perpetually generates energy powering the megastructure and siphoning out as nutrients across a tree to the city across divergent timelines.
