How do I submit art to the contest? 

We are introducing a theme with three new categories you can submit art to: 

  • Classic Art

    • Recreate a famous work of art, but redesigned to be in the artstyle of Rec Room! Examples: “The Mona Lisa”, “American Gothic”, “The Scream”.

  • Group Activities

    • Create a scene featuring a group of players that shows some sort of fun or activity going on within Rec Room. Examples: Scoring a game of soccer, toasting marshmallows in Rec Royale, Questing for gold in ILS, or just hanging out in the Rec Center Lobby.

  • Stylized Rec Room Environments

    • Feature the various locations of Rec Room in various art styles! Examples: Impressionist Park paintings, art deco Lounges, cubist Jumbotron, pop art CyberjunkCity, etc.

The contest will begin on Monday, August 10th, 2020 and ends on Sunday, August 23rd, 2020. Each player can enter one piece of art in each of three categories: Classic Art, Group Activities, and Styled Rec Room Environments. Artworks must fit the theme of “Rec Room” in some way. Art must be done by marker or paintbrush on a drawable surface, such as a canvas, whiteboard, sticky poster, sticky note, gaming table or clipboard. There will be 20 winners per category for a total of 60 winners.

Bring your art to one of the ^ArtShow Submission events on Sunday, August 23rd, 2020, or contact Ryu (discord: Ryukiin#0001) or Noctauto (discord: Noctauto#7241) to enter if you can’t make those times for additional instructions on how to submit your art. All art will be placed in galleries for the players of Rec Room to enjoy!

  • 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.

  • No maker pen embellishments (gizmos, shapes, etc) are allowed to remain on the submissions. Gizmos, shapes and circuits can be used to help create the art prior to submission, but must be removed prior to submitting.

  • 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 the Rec Room Code of Conduct.

  • This contest is not open to players using a Junior Account due to current restrictions around juniors and the creation tools.

Prize:

We’ll have twenty category winners, chosen by Rec Room staff, in three categories. Each winner will get a new blue contest shirt! 

First time winners will be issued their prize.

Winners with multiple art entries will receive an email to coordinate gifting their extra prize.
