Blimey! There are so many things I don’t understand about this site! For example I never heard about the possibility of winning a competition and how to apply.

Hi Alberto! Art Madness is ArtHelper’s new art tournament: artists submit one piece, 32 get picked, and members vote head-to-head each round until one is crowned champion (who wins 1,000 reputation points). This is our very first one, so you haven’t missed much — and you can vote right now: https://art-madness.arthelper.com/t/fall-colors-madness-2026

We’ll post the open call for the next tournament right here in the General community, so keep an eye out and submit a piece!
