The theme for July was Chocobos with any interpretation allowed. The winner for July by a landslide was Alastor Izunia with this shot of a tender moment of a sleeping chocobo next to its owner.
Congratulations!

The website may look a little different today – WordPress has been upgraded to the latest version, and we’re reverting back to our original theme of WP 2017. No other theme has quite looked as good or suited our needs as well, and it’s been upgraded to be compatible with WP 6.3 so I threw it back onto the site skin.
Only about…. two weeks late. My apologies, but I had a family emergency, a planned vacation, and then we were wrapping up CC14, so I failed to send out my image reminders as planned and had to extend the entry period.
But thanks to the extended entry period, we now have five images to share! The theme was simply Chocobos and it was, as always, fully open ended with no restrictions. Please look at each of the images below and then vote for your favorite using the Google poll below.
Voting will be open until Friday, August 11th at 11:59 PM Eastern Time.
I’m also experimenting with an auto post sharing feature. If this works as advertised, we’ll ideally have auto posts made to our Tumblr account going forward, and may expand to further platforms for our next full cycle. Social media is hard enough without having to manually cross post, so the more we can automate, the better!

The theme for May was “My Little Monster” – a nice throwback to an ENTM contest staple. The winner for this month was Netizyn James with a timely homage to Link and his chickens (technically a monster in the context of Griffin Crossing and Battle on the Big Bridge!)
Congratulations!
In addition: CLASSIC CYCLE 14 is finally coming! We’ve been on hiatus for about six months now due to all the hosts getting eaten alive by real life, but with Patch 6.4 out in the wild, we think it’s time to give everyone something to do that isn’t grinding out more Manderville and Splenderous weapons. Auditions for contestants and judging will be announced in the next few days.

The theme for the month of may will be a throwback to the classic cycle theme of My Little Monster. “Aw, this cute thing wants to destroy you! Show us fighting your favorite tiny monster.”
(Technically this is a “battle round” but since this isn’t a full blown cycle, don’t let little things like “rules” or “requirements” stop you from taking your absolute best shot. )
Entries will be accepted until 11:59 PM ET on May 24th, 2023. To enter, send Admin Katarh Mest your screenshot via a direct message on Discord. (I’m setting a series of alarms right meow so that I won’t forget to remind you!)

We had four lovely shots for the April challenge on the theme of “Housing” but the winner for the month was Ni’ko Shae, with this peaceful photo of his living room.
Congratulations! ENTM will (finally) have a cycle announcement soon, so please look forward to it!
