How to Enter


Just post your entry to this thread to be entered into the competition. It's ideal if your content is easy to consume. A general guide for this is that your submission should take no longer than five minutes to listen to or view. It's permitted to post content that is longer than five minutes but in some cases it may put your submission at a disadvantage if it's significantly difficult to engage with your content.

The winning submissions will be selected based the following criteria:
  • How skillfully your talent has been executed.
  • How true it remains to the theme of Keepers of the Flame for Path of Exile 1 and The Last of the Druids for Path of Exile 2.
  • How compelling or entertaining the submission is.

Conditions


  • The competition will run from the time of this post until февр. 11, 2026 11:00 PM (GMT-5) (this is displayed in your local time). Submissions made after this time will not be counted.
  • Any work that is submitted must be your own and must be created after the launch of this competition.
  • AI generated art, audio, and visuals will not be accepted. We reserve the right to disqualify your entry if we believe that it is AI generated.
  • Multiple submissions are welcome.
  • If you want to create a montage or mash-up of other artists' work or videos, this is permitted as long as it follows all legal guidelines of fair use standards.

Best of luck to everyone who is participating in this competition! We have always loved seeing the Path of Exile-related content that you create and once again are eager to see what you'll come up with this time.

Silicon dreams hum,
Confidently wrong at times -
Still types very fast.



edit: To be inescapably clear, I am not entering the competition. Just poking fun is all. :)

"Keepers Of The Flame" - Graffiti Style


"Dreamer asked to tag some Sarn Slums"
The armor set list has finally been updated! I believe this is because they're in PoE 2, meaning PoE 2 participants will have something to offer.
I hope the new list will be preserved, as it contains more relevant and interesting sets than the old ones (which, I hope, will also be reworked and improved).

Regarding participation... I'm afraid that once again all the prizes will be taken by professional artists and one knitted figurine creator. I've always been confused by talent contests' lack of categorization. How can you compare singing and cosplay? Drawing and sculpting? Ultimately, I believe the most highly valued talents are those that can be assessed in a couple of seconds. That is, complex drawings.

I would suggest at least some division by category, and determining prizes numerically as a percentage (in case there are fewer participants in a category than there are prizes, or, conversely, too many).

I wish the participants an easy start and a satisfying finish. You don't need luck, you have inspiration, talent and effort. Create your miracle!

I'mma keep it real with you, GGG, this has nothing to do with the Druid or PoE1 but I was hyped as hell last year on PoE2 so me and a dude made this PS1-style demake of Doryani's Triumph

He did the animation, I provided the tune, cheers!

The one thing I'm good at, they won't accept...

feels bad man.
Confront those who dare obstruct the transmission of your information with swift rejection, for they sit silently obsessing over your submission.

They are taking up too much space!)
