 Welcome to the MLP Forums October 2024 Visual Art contest 

Welcome to the October 2024 Visual Art Contest! Grab your favorite costume, think of your favorite candy and get ready for some spooky fun because...

The theme for this month is:

Nightmare Night!

Requirements

• Create artwork of ponies (and/or other canon creatures or OCs) engaging in Nightmare Night / Halloween activities
  • This can depict a wide variety of Halloween activities whether solo or a group, as long as it captures the spirit of spooky fun in some way. This can include Nightmare Night specific themes (like bobbing for apples -- the fun has been DOUBLED! ) or any Halloween activity such as but not limited to exploring haunted houses, adventuring through eerie locations, taking a hike through the misty woods at night, trick-or-treating, enjoying candy, dressing up in costumes, having mysterious encounters with anomalous phenomena or falling through an interdimensional warp only to find yourself wandering alone through a vast, ever stranger liminal network of increasingly surreal poolrooms.
• 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
• Photoshopping or editing images created by others to make your submission is not allowed
• Animations no longer than 10 seconds are allowed
