Community Event Announcement: DokiDoki Decoration! ~ Winter 2022

Hello BandoriPartiers! It's been a long year full of changes but we have finally reached December! This is a time for some well needed relaxation but also some winter festivities!

Thank you to Nija for the office drawing!

I say that but it seems Bandori Party's management and staff have been particularly busy recently and not had the time to think of getting any decorations for our headquarters this season! Luckily, our wonderful mascot Kanae is able to decorate this place for us! But it seems she also doesn't have many spare decorations for us to use...

It seems like we may need our community to help Kanae deck out our place for winter! Let's create some decorations to use in the headquarters!

Submissions are due by [utcdate=2022-12-25T00:00:00][/utcdate] which is in [countdown=2022-12-25T00:00:00][/countdown]

How can I participate?

To enter, you must make a new activity before the submission deadline of December 25th. Make sure to use the hashtag '#DokiDokiDecoration Winter 2022' on your activity and to include an image of your decoration for our headquarters! It can be a decoration based on a band, a character, an event, or it can just be a general wintery decoration. The decoration does not need to be specifically based on Christmas so please feel free to make all sorts of decorations for any winter festivity you want!

We would love to add your decorations into the office space so if possible, make sure your image is a transparent .png so we can place it into the headquarters afterwards! Any ornaments specifically made for a Christmas tree will be put onto an image of a separate tree. We will still gladly take entries which aren't transparent!

Additional Info and Rules

• Make sure your submission (both the image and any text you put in your post) is appropriate and follows regular posting guidelines
• While we expect most entries to be digital art, you are free to share images of handmade physical decorations as well
• You may use already existing templates online for decorations
• Do not use others' fanart in your creations e.g. copy-pasting someone else's fanart onto christmas bunting, using someone's fanart as a poster decoration! Any entries that do not follow this rule will have to be deleted
• While we will allow participants to make multiple entries, multiple entries by one person will not be considered in the random winner picks
• Each participant gets one entry into the prize draw

Prizes!

All participants will receive a badge for participating in this event!

One randomly selected participant will be able to receive a digital prize of their liking! This may include an art commission or an edit done by one of our lovely community artists or graphic designers!

If you can wow us this winter season and we reach a total of 10 participants, a second randomly chosen person will also win a digital prize!

If we receive an avalanche of decorations from 20 participants, a third randomly chosen winner will win a physical merch prize! (Digital prize is optional if preferred!) Examples of winnable merch is shown below!

The most important thing of all is to have fun with designing your wintery decorations! We can't wait to see everyone's creations and to decorate the headquarters! Happy Winter!
