Lunar New Year 2024 Contest!

[VaMRainey]

Happy Lunar New Year - Year of the Dragon!



VAM features a large community who celebrates Lunar New Year so we thought it would be fun to do a screenshot contest celebrating all the lovely and beautiful things about Lunar New Year.



During the time leading up to February 10th, we encourage the community to create items that one might find at a Lunar New Year festival, such as lanterns, beautiful outfits, and yummy food to eat during the celebrations!



Folks who want to take part in the festival contest will submit themed screenshots to me on the hub or on Discord by Feb 24th in the evening! (I'm extending the time due to some confusion from folks!). I will post an album on the hub where the screenshots will be together and the community can vote for their favorites. The screenshots with the most votes/reactions will be the winners~!

Winners of the screenshot contest will receive a 'red envelope' with a prize inside!



Community members who would like to contribute to the prizes,
please message me on Discord or on the hub!​

Here are a few links if you're unsure what to contribute or how to celebrate: Chinese New Year 2024, Lunar New Year, History.com Lunar New Year 2024

​

(Special thanks to @Shadow Venom for helping to organize this AND for translation in the graphics, as well as a handful of creators from the Chinese VAM community for their feedback!)

EDIT: Feel free to use any of these graphics in your personal servers to spread the word! Link back to this thread for full details! ​
