Winter is Coming - November 2025 TOTM

The chill is setting in, and a certain sense of anticipation hangs in the air - winter is coming, after all. This month's contest invites artists to craft thematic sets of icons or mouse cursors inspired by the quiet strength and stark beauty of the colder season. Think frost-enchanted swords, snowflake patterns, or the beauty and calmness of a snow covered forest. Submissions must be, as always, original works, though inspiration from fantasy worlds and northern realms is welcome. Let your designs capture the feeling of a world waiting for winter's arrival (just avoid the underwhelming finale).

To participate, please create an icon or cursor set, publish it in the Gallery between November 1st and 22nd, and then reply to this topic specifying the set that you want to submit to the contest.

Contest starts tomorrow

Submission phase will end and voting will start on November 21st. The contest will conclude and participants will be able to claim their prizes on November 30th.

The winner will receive 25, the runner-up will receive 15, and the 2nd runner-up will receive 10.
