Okay I said I was pretty sure that submissions were final, but I am actually not sure. Can someone tell me if they are, I would like to swap out one of the entries for another.
XOXOXOXOXO

Update: It was brought to my attention that several of the entries were disqualified for not being within the required dates. Because of this, I have replaced them with eligible entries.

Seems to be a very basic perspective exercise.

I don't think so, but I just gave your comic a 5 so you'd be eligible if you had more submissions.
EDIT: I just read the rules again and you don't actually need more than one submission, but you do need reviews and to have been on the site for over 3 years

Thank you! And I’m not looking to be a judge, just donating to the cause is plenty for me.
AAAAAA OH MY GOSH YOU REALLY DO LOVE TO SEE IT
Didn't even know this was a thing but honestly I'd love to throw my hat in just to show off some of the things I think deserved more attention
If I happen to be doing this wrong in any way please forgive me, but this is so super important so I thought I'd at least give it a try ❤
Personally the entries I sent in for the animations category was much easier to choose than one would expect beforehand, and while they may seem simple at first I think they deserve to be seen by many more people!
First entry I sent in was mannequin by menthalovely, who seems to be very active on here!! their content isn't quite for the faint of heart I'd say with the occasional gore and such, but their style is so interesting and the story they kinda set up with this video in-particular is so damn intriguing! It's gotten quite a bit of coverage on Youtube so I was actually really surprised to see it hasn't done as much of the rounds on here
Second entry I sent was Magic Store by Tawaki6ixty5ive, an animation that left me with the stupidest possible smile on my face
the chaotic nature of the sorta humour this animation has just reels you in despite its simplicity, you just can't help but watch it through to the end :D not to mention the fact that in the description Tawaki6ixty5ive says that several of their animations were actually lost because of their tablet breaking, a whole years worth of animations and voice lines and such gone!
This was the only thing that survived according to them, so I think it deserves more eyes goddammit!
Now when it comes to the games category I have to admit I was feeling a bit lost because I don't play too many games on here (despite calling myself a gamer, I know, I'm a phony) but there was one thing I saw in the Under Judgement section in December that left me feeling delightfully unsettled
I present to the jury The Void by IcarusDev!! A game that heavily reminded me of Iron Lung in its vibes
The basic idea is that you're in this world that's barely surviving, and humans have been completely wiped out! Androids exist though, and are trying to scavenge as much as they can after the humans died off so they don't go extinct as well, searching for resources in the only place it seems they can, The Void™
One of your comrades SCV_29014 went missing on one of these scavenging expeditions, and now it's up to you to travel into The Void™ to try and contact them via communication box signals
I won't say much else as I'm afraid it may spoil the experience, but trust me when I say the atmosphere this game sets up is amazing! and considering it was made by an only 15-year-old game dev, I think it should be celebrated!!! or at the very least recognized!! Please give it a try :'v
Now the stuff I entered for the art and audio category I have a little less to say about when compared to those last 3 things, but trust me when I do say that they're still very much worth your time, eyes, and earholes!
For my art entries it was super hard to try and pick out just 2 things, but after looking through my favourites I would like to show off teeth void, by a linda-mota and Mouth trauma, which was a Goretober submission from NeverSkipEggDay!
I must admit I'm a little unsure as to whether anything from Goretober or anything of the like is accepted here, but I just couldn't go without showing someone the absolute fuckfest (lovingly) that is Mouth trauma! I love how artsy of a direction they took this prompt, the immediate feel of panic you get from the colour palette and linework is palatable to say the least
It almost looks like vent art with how anxious the mood is from this piece and I mean that in the most positive way possible, absolutely worth far more than just 34 views
teeth void though? teeth void has only 83 views as of writing this AND I AM NOT OK WITH THAT GODDAMMIT. Ya wanna know why? Two words buckaroo, PAINT and TEETH.
This was all completely traditional which means that not only did they show how much texture they could convey with their talent in painting alone, but if you were to see this piece in real life?? you could touch it and feel ACTUAL TEETH THERE
THAT'S FUCKING AWESOME
I'm rambling I'm aware and I apologize for that, but seriously there's so much stuff in the art portal that deserves more eyes and these are just 2 examples, equally weird and wonderful and I'm so happy to be able to appreciate it with all of you :D
OKAY last thing
I am a real big lover of music but I unfortunately have not gone walking around too often in the audio portal, hence why nearly everything in my favourites most likely came from the front page as is or was made in 2021 as I've come to find out
and while Tyhond is relatively well-known around these parts (if you see this hi Tyhond!! you're delightful!) some may not know that he actually does music! a lot usually to go with his characters and such!
while it may just feel like a humble little holiday jingle, I think the Undertale-esque nostalgic and wholesome vibes of their instrumental Silk Wrapped Mothberry deserves a good honorable mention here
what can I say, it just got stuck in my head and made my heart happy, and I want you all to have some of that too ❤
I'm sorry for the super long post here my dudes but I was told by Mr. Fulp that I had to share my entries with the thread and so I did
hope that everyone who bothered to read this far (or even just the first few sentences honestly) has something good happen to them soon, and I love you :>

This very song is the reason why I participated in the hunt. Criminally underrated.
My selections (sticking to music and art)
Art:
Originally I was gonna select another piece of art instead of Kinomoru but decided not to. This guy's style really appeals to me personally. You only really see this kind of style in early 2000s Japanese Doujin games or Touhou fanart of the time. I wish more people replicated it, has a weird ethereal look that just makes me feel comfy (I think a key part is just editing random text into the background and going nuts with filters). And then when I looked into it found out they never received any trophies aside from a Collab and have an overall low view count. And to me that injustice can't stand
Music:
I just went "I'm just gonna search for 2023 and Touhou and I bet i'll find something good that wasn't frontpaged or awarded" and lo and behold
granted I did vary my search to find other good pieces of music
(Still ended up biased towards Touhou stuff though)
I would have liked to have been able to do movies and games but my Wi-Fi sucks
like for frame of reference I once stumbled on a conversation in the youtube comments once where a bunch of Australians were sharing their pain about having to deal with Australian internet and I said "I'm not sure if its just as bad but in Malaysia my internet's bad as well" only to have one guy in the convo tell me "dude I'm originally from Malaysia and Malaysian Wi-Fi makes Australian Wi-Fi look high speed by comparison. I pity you"
I don't even have any hopes of winning those categories I just wanted to find some hidden gems but I can't even watch them and after spending the past 5 days trying, I'm just giving up.
I'll see what I can find here! I love finding obscure content that kinda slips past the radar.
I forgot to put the link in the thread ASDAUIDYBWAEIFYEWSAFYYIWEFYO
Will there be any runner up winners?
And would they be featured as well
