Entries for this challenge will be accepted until Thursday, June 24th at 8:00 AM Eastern Time. Note that I will be traveling out of the country between June 12th-20th, so replies during those days may be a little slower than normal.

The prize is, as always, a small item from the Mogstation, your winning shot on the front page of ENTM, and the right to choose the next theme!

ENTM contests are open to the general screenshot community. You do not have to have participated in any ENTM contest before.

No other restrictions apply beyond these and the challenge theme as described above. Do not taunt happy fun ball.

Voting was extremely close and we very nearly had a four way tie, but the winner by a nose for the month of May on the theme of Bubblegum was Escher Strange!

We will be announcing the June challenge in a few days, and hopefully we’ll have news about the next long form cycle soon as well!

The theme for the month of May was the very open ended Bubblegum. We had six entries on this theme, going in wonderfully different directions for inspiration.

The challenge for the month of May is a single word prompt: Bubblegum. This is a very open ended challenge, and you can interpret it however you want! (Since we don’t have a chew gum emote just yet….)

Entries for the May Challenge will be accepted from now until Friday, May 20th 2022 at 11:59 PM ET. To enter, send your screenshot and your character’s name for voting to Admin Katarh Mest on the ENTM Discord.

The winner will receive a minion or other small item from the Mogstation, their screenshot as the header image on our website, and the right to choose the next month’s theme!

The theme for the month was Fairy Tales and voting was extremely tight since we had so many great entriess, but the shot that edged out a win over all the others this month belonged to Sparrow Scarlet for this lovely depiction of a prince staring up at a fairy castle (literally!) Congratulations!

The April challenge will be posted soon. In the meantime, please continue to offer your votes for our contestants in Classic Cycle 13.

We had a veritable roar of entries in the last few days of this challenge, and with seven different contenders on the theme of Fairy Tales we could write a whole book!
