It’s almost the end of the year, so it’s time for another Blender Guru Christmas competition!
Last year’s was a big success, so I can’t wait to see what comes out of this year’s competition.
The theme is simple: Create a Christmas Themed image using Blender. The best image wins
Prize
The winner will receive:
- $250 Cash
- $250 for a charity of your choice
- Any item from the Blender e-Shop
- A permanent spot in the Winner’s Hall of Fame
Guidelines
- It must be created with Blender
- It must be rendered with either Cycles or the Internal Renderer
- 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)
- It must be family friendly (no overtly sexual or gory themes)
- Your image must in some way relate to Christmas
- The winner will be required to submit the .blend file to prove it’s creation

Criteria for Judging
Entries will be judged by me on the following criteria:
- Aesthetics
- Storytelling
- Impact
To increase your chances of winning, aim for all three.
"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 stands out in a crowd, and dares to be different." -
