I love this kind of art and I wish I had the time to get into it and learn how to make it.

Low Poly art is essentially 3D art made with a low number of polygons. Some artists make hi-resolution low poly art with smooth edges, while others work with lower resolution, more in the style of PlayStation 1-2 games. Either is fine for this event!

We’re celebrating Low Poly Day with categories for art, movies, games and music, much like we do with Pixel Day each year.

Publish your entry on June 6th and include the "lowpolyday2025" tag to participate in the festivities.

If your work is making its world premier on Low Poly Day, you are eligible for our prize competition! Include a second tag, "lowpolyday2025-compo" to confirm it is a world premier piece and is competing for a prize. If you are sharing something you've already posted elsewhere, stick with just the lowpolyday2025 tag.

If you’ve never shared your work on NG, we’d love to see you join in! You can enter multiple categories or submit multiple entries. You can also team up with friends to make stuff.

Fan art is fine, if the art is your own original work and not models ripped from games.

If you’re making a movie or game, try partnering with a musician on NG! We can’t host content with unlicensed commercial music, so avoid using songs you don’t have permission to use. Here are some music resources.

🏆 Prizes - Sponsors Needed!

🎞️ Movie
1st - $300
2nd - $100
3rd - $60

🎮 Game
1st - $250
2nd - $100

1st - $150

🎵 Music

We’re crowdfunding prize money, for more and bigger prizes! Use the donation option on the Supporter page and PM me a heads up you donated towards Low Poly Day.

Event sponsors will be added to this post (sorted by donation size), as well as the day-of post and the winners announcement. If you contribute $100 or more to the prizes, we can include a promo link next to your name as well.

Example Games

I gotta say, not a ton of examples came to mind on NG but low poly is great for web games because it’s performant and can download quickly. I’d love to see more people give it a try! Also is this Dad ‘n Me game too high-poly in some cases to be an ideal example?

Question: If I have permission from developers, is it acceptable to submit models I made for a videogame?

It's acceptable to submit models you made for a game but it would be best to not include them in the prize competition, so they are instead just part of the celebration.

"Example Music

Errr...how is this even remotly low poly? I mean, i get it, "retro songs n shit" but srsly, low poly is a virsual art style, not really a musicial or sound volume thing, it would be the same if you say hard rock looks good on the clothes...


and if we talk game music, what era "are" we talking about? Only like N64/PS1 area (since this would be the said timeline) or chiptunes n like in regular? i mean there is a differ in, i duno

Looks fun, I plan on getting into low-poly modeling, but that'll still have to wait since the music part looks more interesting (and do-able). Would D&B music like these be acceptable?
