It’s time for another competition!
Theme: The Perfect Holiday
What’s your idea of the perfect holiday?
Is it spending time alone in the wilderness? Or perhaps taking an intergalactic space holiday?
What you create in this competition is only limited by your imagination. So be creative! And try to avoid the obvious cliché of “sitting on an island in a deckchair”
The Prize
This is your chance to help the world through your art!
The winner of the last competition was Simon Meloche who opted to donate to
The Greater Montreal foundation, which helps to fund education, arts and creative endeavours in the Montreal region.
Which charity will you donate to?
Guidelines
- Only one entry per person
- It must be one image
- It must be created with Blender
- You may use any external renderer you wish
- Minor post processing in Gimp or Photoshop is allowed
- Minimum image size is 1280 x 720, but the bigger the better (any aspect ratio is fine)
- Your image must be a new creation, not an existing project
- It must be your own work. No bought/borrowed or third party models allowed (including MakeHuman)
- Photographic elements are allowed, but must not be a central part of the image (sky backgrounds are okay)
- Your image must in some way relate to the theme
- The winner will be asked to submit the .blend file for proof of its creation

Obviously what you do with the theme is up to you, but in case you’re drawing a blank here’s some “perfect holiday” inspiration:

Criteria for Judging
Entries will be judged on the following criteria:
- Aesthetics
- Story telling
- Impact
If you want to win, aim for all three areas.
“The best art has meaning beyond just an image; perhaps it will bring you to tears, make you laugh, or remind you of something you'd almost forgotten. It also stands out in a crowd, and dares to be different.” –

Tips for Winning
- Focus on one human emotion (like awe, peace, intrigue etc.) then create an image that provokes that emotion
- Sketch out your idea before diving into blender.
- Create a scene that you yourself would want to be in.
