Welcome to the Official Gaia Contests Forum!

The folks at Gaia are excited to be able to offer new and exciting contests for users to enter and win! The Official Gaia Contests Forum is here to help you keep up with the current contests Gaia is holding or hosting.

After you've poured your sweat and tears into an entry, stop by and show it off to the world! This is a place to post, discuss, and critique contest entries and works-in-progress. Even if you aren't planning on entering, feel free to offer feedback on the works of others. Your advice could make the difference to a potential winner!


What should I post here?

This forum is a place to discuss current Gaia Contests and show off your submissions and works-in-progress. You can even post if you aren't planning on officially entering! Although you're not required to post here in order to enter the current contests, you're welcome to stop by for feedback, discussion, flattery, critiques or whatever.

  • When posting a contest submission, please begin your thread title with [Submission]
  • Please keep your discussion in this forum related to the current contest!

exclaim REMINDER! Posting in this forum does not automatically enter you into a contest and does not increase your chances of winning. Please follow the directions for entry outlined in the current contest rules! exclaim


Forum Rules and Guidelines:
  • Please create a new thread for each submission/work-in-progress you post.

  • Please do not post off-topic threads, non-serious 'joke' entries, or work that is not related to the current contest.

  • Please do not bump or spam in this forum.

  • If you make a thread asking for advice and ideas, please be sure to include some ideas of your own. Asking for ideas is fine, but make sure you give people something to start with!

  • When critiquing the submissions of others, please be polite and civil. Constructive criticism is welcome, but rudeness and trolling are not.

  • Make sure that the work you're posting is entirely your own! Please do not post copied material, or works created by other people.

  • All potential entries posted here must follow Gaia's terms of service.
