Hey everyone, once again we’ll celebrate the quality and diversity of our artists community by having a community election of the best artworks! Check out last year’s event to get a sense of what will happen and also make sure you take a look at the winners!

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

  • Animals
  • Animation
  • Characters
  • Exterior architecture
  • Geometry Nodes
  • Interior architecture
  • Landscapes and flora
  • NPR
  • Product Design :new:
  • Technology
  • Vehicles (this includes cars, boats, planes, spaceships etc)
  • VFX

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 in the week of January 6.
  2. You have until January 11 to cast your votes.
  3. We will present the top 5 of each category on Blender Artists and BlenderNation after January 12.

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:

I have moved the timeline a bit this year so we can include ALL artworks that were posted in 2024. Please finish tagging your artwork by January 4, end of day so we can create our shortlists in time for the election. The election will start soon after that.

As a reminder, here’s how to update tags for your posts

Visit your topic and click the pencil icon next to the title, add your tags to the ‘optional tags’ field and click the save icon.

These tags cover 99% of artwork posted here, I’m not sure what other categories we could add

Hello! :wave: May I kindly ask which category does Props is classified under? :smiley:

10

I’d say it depends on the kind of prop. Something for the home? Interior architecture, etc.

Very exciting :star_struck: :partying_face: Looking forward to see the winners!!

12

Very exciting! If the work covers more than one of these fields, can we tag it for those?

13

Yes you can. Work will only be shortlisted in one category though.

environment could be a more generic alternative to landscapes, some kind of exterior or interior architecture but more geared toward entertainment industry rather than arch-viz …
Anyway, it’s great to have all these categories as it’s always inspiring to look at all these beautiful pieces !

There’s already some unethical behavior going on around this, with some users stuffing all of their artworks full of unrelated tags. Please note that all the potential eligible works are reviewed by staff first, and if I find you tag-stuffing, I will remove those tags and lock your post from having the tags changed

“Please do not judge quickly; maybe someone doesn’t have enough information and doesn’t know.”

Ah, I see! Thank you! I appreciate it!

This is exciting! Definitely looking forward to this!

18

When adding tags, should we remove any other tag unrelated to the award from the post ?

19

No, you can leave them, just don’t add a bunch of random voting categoy tags

Oh that’s great! :fire:
