Draw It Again

Art Contest

Entries are now closed for 2025!

About This Contest

Got some old art that you’ve created? Let’s see that improvement!

This contest is all about seeing your own personal growth, and encouraging others to see theirs as well! It’s incredible to see the change in your art, whether it’s from 6 months ago or 6 years.

Digital and traditional mediums are encouraged, as well as any subject matter (portraits, still life, landscapes, etc.) as long as any NSFW art is tagged/censored as such.

Rules & Guidelines for Entries

The premise is simple: dig out an old drawing/painting of yours and redraw it! However, we do want to establish some basic rules and guidelines so everyone has fun (and a fair chance at winning some cool prizes!)

  • No AI-generated artwork. The old and new artworks must be human-made and not generated by AI or prompts.
  • Indicate the rough dates of both drawings. They don’t have to be exact (month and year, or just year, is fine!), but we do want to see that timeframe.
  • The “old artwork” must be at least six (6) months old.
  • Make a social post: tag @artdenorg and use the hashtag #ArtDenDrawItAgain so we can easily share your artwork with our following.
  • Some adjustments in pose, color, etc. are fine, but the new artwork must be recognizable as an improved version of the older artwork.
  • The new piece must have been created in the past 30 days. This means between July 15, 2025 – September 30, 2025.

How to Enter

We want the barrier to entry as simple as possible, so there are just two steps:

  1. Create a social media post: tag @artdenorg, and use the hashtag #ArtDenDrawItAgain
  2. Submit the form below with a link to your post.

 

That’s it! The reason we have you submit the form as well is because some social media platforms are not great about notifying accounts when a hashtag or @ has been used, so we want to make sure we see every entry!
