June Mario Kart Contest

Hey there, everyone! Eli here! 2025 is continuing to race by without any signs of stopping, so the staff decided to play into that feeling with this month’s contest. After all, who doesn’t enjoy a good race sometimes, especially when there’s a chance to see things explode all around the world?

When it comes to the various spin-offs of the Mario franchise, one of them is unquestionably bigger than all of the others. But we’re focusing less on the fame and more on the fun of this favored side series for this contest, since that’s what it should be all about anyway. Hence, this month’s contest will focus on Mario Kart!

Contest Information

Whether you want to focus on characters, karts, tracks, or tricks, there’s so much that can be done when it comes to exploring the world of Mario Kart. It’s gotten so big that even the most obscure characters have been dragged out from under the rocks they were once hiding under, so basically anything and anyone can be brought into the spotlight.

Art, stories, blogs, or whatever else you’d like to do in of creative production is valid. You can use whatever means you’d like in order to make something great, just as long as it follows our guidelines. So don’t be afraid to get a little crazy with it, just like how certain races can be!

Tips For Your Entries

The tips listed here are not necessarily requirements, but it is recommended that you consider them as very basic pieces of advice while crafting your entries. These tips are simply meant to help you enrich your works and help them stand out as something unique.

:art: Art :art:

Details, cleanliness, creativity, expressiveness, and a unique use of colors and poses are all recommended for drawings. Backgrounds are nice and will be considered, but we are aware they are quite difficult so that won’t immediately count against someone if they don’t have one. Make sure your piece feels immersive and really draws eyes towards it.

:books: Writing :books:

Originality, good details, decent length, a good use of grammar, and proper formatting (BICUS, paragraph size, etc.) are all recommended for stories. Make your dive into the literary world cohesive and accessible but also entertaining and engaging!

:computer: Blogs :computer:

Unique subjects, decent length, creativity in execution, a good use of grammar, and proper formatting (BICUS, paragraph size, etc.) are all recommended for blogs. Make your blog something truly engrossed in your personal style as you detail what exactly has caught your interest!

:star: Other :star:

Of course, you’re always free to create something using other types of media like music, crafts, food, or anything else! Just make sure to add progress shots as proof of creation for whatever you may want to put out there!
