The Cube Farm
I intended to have some angry Suzannes in suits walking around, but the budget did not allow it, so the project had to be rushed and those employees that did not work enough overtime hours for free were fired. 
How about just making the theme â1000â or âOne Thousandâ?
Title: Eggs, lots of eggs
Pure entry
Be sure to open the image up to check the fine details. I spent a lot of time trying to get the egg texture correct in procedural nodes. I used geometry nodes and a Poisson Disk distribution to randomly distribute the eggs.
Early Hydroponic farm
Pure entry, cycles 64 samples + denoising
Returning after a longer break, still find modeling with geometry nodes easier than in the editor.
Toddlerâs Delight
pure
Blender 3.1.2, Cycles, all new models texture-painted (witness my mad toddler-level painting skillz!)
Oh, nice. This year I didnât manage to grow much more than a few zucchinis. 
Maybe it is just a typo - but if it isnât: Did you create a apple maple hybrid? I visited a maple syrup âfarmâ in Nova Scotia a few years back. However, Apple Maple Syrup could actually be a thing.
Ahah! Itâs a typo. Like you said, an Apple Maple Syrup farm could be something. lol
Time to harvest some votes! 
That is a great idea.
What happens with the winner of #1000 then? Do they choose the theme for #2000? 
It would take 19 years for the theme to go public, but it will definitely be epic when it happens.
I think, weâll do just that.
It would be kind of cool if there were a Blender Artists badge for the âbig numberâ winners. Maybe not just for #1000 (you donât want it to happen only once every 19 years), but also for #500, or even for every 100th (thatâs still only once every 2 years). Maybe it could also be used for other challenge winners on the site. Donât want it to be so rare hardly anyone ever gets it, but it could be a nice, uncommon bonus.
I think that is to rare.
If there is a badge i guess there will be attracting more participants. So a badge for 5, 10 and 20 wins may be nice.
