🎉 Get ready for the 'Best of Blender Artists 2021' Awards!

Contests Best of Blender Artists 2021
1

Hey everyone, this year we’ll celebrate the quality and diversity of our artists community by having a community election of the best artworks!

With your help, we’ll pick the top 5 works from the following categories:

  • Characters
  • Landscapes and flora
  • Interior architecture
  • Exterior architecture
  • Technology
  • Animals
  • Vehicles (this includes cars, boats, planes, spaceships etc)
  • NPR

How it will work

  1. The BA team will create shortlists of 25 artworks for each category, and will post them with a voting form around Christmas.
  2. You have until December 30 to cast your votes.
  3. We will present the top 5 of each category on Blender Artists and BlenderNation on December 31st.

We need your help

We will use tags help us find the right artworks in the #artworks category for our shortlists. So please scan your portfolio and add the following tags to your topics when necessary:

Note: #landscapes, #plants and #technology are new tags!

Please finish tagging your artwork by December 22, end of day so we can create our shortlists in time for the election.

How can I add tags to my topics, if it’s been more than 24h ago. Do I need a higher trust level in order to do that?

4

Yes, to edit older topics you need to have a ‘Trust Level 2’ account:

Since this is a problem for this activity, I’ll lift this restriction until December 24.

Hi @bartv:

I have some images that are recreations of other artists works, as you know.

Can I tag them to these awards?

7

I’m assuming you got their permission for the reproduction and that you credited them in your post? If so, then that’s ok.

8

Of course, before publishing, I contact the author asking for permission and every post includes:

A clear title with the original author and the name of the original scene.
The name of the artist.
A link to his/her scene in this forum.
The images of what I have been able to recreate.
Some comments about the problems and thoughts I have found in my try.

So, if you and the comunity dont mind, I will tag a pair of them.

We can’t add tags now anymore, perhaps next year!

What exactly is NPR?

Non Photo Realistic, like cartoon renders etc.

14

Thank you. Doesn’t really apply to me, then. I don’t do any of that.

Those are the correct kind of category/hashtags right? In this case the “characters” one.

16

Yes, that is correct

Hey Bart

I tagged my work as #characters

But I’ve got this “Our automated spam filter, Akismet, has temporarily hidden your topic.”
And I can’t find my work anymore… https://i.imgur.com/aJcAu6z.png

Let’s go :fire:

Yeah, sometimes our spam filter does that. I cleared them!
