the fall 2026
music video art contest
🌧️|🍂|🌰|🎃|🏡
welcome!
This contest is aimed to be the first of many; I appreciate your interest as I figure it out & apply learning in future iterations. <3
Now let’s create a….
Human-made lofi/comfy music video for YouTube, using art & music created by the community.
Since this is primarily a community full of game industry folk, there will be an emphasis on 3D and 2D art, however we welcome all human creativity. Would love to see some unique ideas & creations!
categories
This music video will feature a 3D scene of a rainy fall day, miscellaneous creations within the theme, and at least 10 human-made tracks. The very essence is meant to be non-cohesive. It is the mixture of different human creative takes on the theme!
3D Art:
>> 1 Winner: A house model
>> 1 Winner: Outdoor environment (no props)
>> 2 Winners: Characters for scene
>> 5 Winners: Fall/Halloween themed prop
Misc Submissions:
>> Up to 10 Winners: Can be any medium as long as it fits the rainy fall day theme.
Music Submissions:
>> Up to 10 Winners: Lofi, jazz, or similar comfy styles are preferred.
