The theme for April will be a very open ended Housing – that is, a renovation cycle style screenshot of your favorite nooks and crannies of your apartment or FC house. No player characters should be included in this shot!

As with our regular monthly challenges – you should keep this vanilla. No mods and no usage of third party tools. That said, glitch away to your heart’s content to stack and layer objects far beyond the bounds of the standard settings.

Entries will be accepted until 11:59 PM Eastern Time on April 23rd, 2023. To enter, send a screenshot to admin Katarh Mest on the ENTM Discord channel.

It is a rare occasion in ENTM monthly challenge – we had a dead on tie between two of our shots! With an equal number of votes for each of them, the winners for March are both Penny Snowflake and Ireul Aberystwyth!

Congratulations!

Cycle Update: We had hoped to have news about our next cycle by now, but all of the hosts for ENTM have been eaten alive by Real Life ™ these past few months (including me.) Now would be an ideal time to give us all something to tide us all over until Patch 6.4, so please look forward to an announcement as soon as we can get things organized on our end.

The theme for March was “Water.” We had three entries on this theme.

We’re leaving the world of imaginary past and returning to the present, although no less abstract. The theme for the month of February is Red.

Our theme was Goncharov – an imaginary film created by a fever dream on Tumblr – and this challenging theme only drew three entries. The audience was fairly divided (likely because nobody really knew what a fake film is supposed to look like) but the winner in a squeaker was Escher Strange, for the second month in a row.

We’ll have a new challenge up shortly, and hopefully news soon about our first cycle of 2023!

The theme for the month of January was Goncharov – an especially challenging one consider the film doesn’t actually exist.

Still, three of us managed to scrape up the creativity to Copycat Cycle an imaginary film.

It’s our first challenge of the new year, and the theme this month is going to be something very different. The theme is Goncharov and normally I would leave it at that and allow your imaginations to run wild, but this one is going to require a bit more explanation.

Thankfully, Wikipedia is already on it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goncharov_(meme)

In other words, your theme is the “greatest mafia film ever made” (that doesn’t actually exist.) Think of this as an extension of the Copycat Cycle, but this time with the thing you need to copy being a hoax to begin with. Have fun!

Entries on this theme will be accepted until 11:59 ET on January 22nd, 2023. To enter, send a direct message to Katarh Mest on our Discord channel.
