Other Rules:
  • One entry per category per person. All entries can have only one creator and will be given one prize. 
  • Submissions must not have been submitted in any previous official Rec Room contests.
  • When submitting, players are required to take three Rec.net progress photos of each of their artwork. These photos are required to show a clear transition from an early version all the way to a near-end version of the piece. If you send in a full timelapse of the art progress, that will also help.
  • Acceptable media includes canvases, whiteboards, custom shirts, sticky posters, sticky notes, gaming tables, and clipboards.
  • All media must not be scaled larger than their normal size at the time of being submitted, with the exception of the sticky notes and clipboards, which may be scaled as large as the largest dimension of the sticky poster. Submissions can have any orientation (landscape or portrait). Submissions can be scaled up or down as necessary during the creation process before they have been submitted. Keep holotars at the same size during submission.
  • No maker pen embellishments (gizmos, shapes, etc.) are allowed to remain on the submissions. With the exception of CV2 holitars. We will only allow CV1/CV2 Gizmos, shapes, and circuits to be used to help create the art prior to submission, but must be removed prior to submitting. CV2 will be placed on hold for this contest and reviewed if suspected of using it. If suspected we may contact the user and look into the invention to see what was used to make it. If you are using circuits and gizmos for your art you will be required to save your invention at least once for us to review it
  • Third-party software (such as bot-created art/CV2 printing) is NOT ALLOWED for the art contest. We may request to confirm progress via room or invention saves. Save frequently to ensure you are not disqualified.
  • The invention must be last saved before the submission time. 
  • Disputes: If the origin of any art piece is disputed, players will need to prove ownership. We recommend that you work on your piece in a room that you have created.
  • Players must have a confirmed email on their Rec Room account so that we can contact them if they win.
  • All submissions must abide by Rec Room's Creator Code of Conduct.
  • This contest is not open to players using a Junior Account due to current restrictions around juniors and the creation tools.
  • If you have any questions please contact events@recroom.com before Tuesday, June 17th at 11:59 PM PDT. Submission cannot be guaranteed after this point.
