</div>

To improve visibility and hype up the event, the Alliance Tournament Art Contest returns in 2026!

## How it works

1. Create any new piece of media, may it be a poster, a meme, a video-advert, a song, or something completely different.  
Post your submission as answer in this thread before the deadline ends.

2. Media from past tournaments will _NOT_ be accepted. Make something new, there is enough time.  
The submission has to either celebrate the Alliance Tournament as a whole, the hosting faction (this year Amarr), or roll the drums for [a participating team](https://discord.com/channels/940573867192221696/1004091879878557776/1531253248764285008).

3. Deadline: Submissions are open from Friday, 21st August 2026 00:00 UTC (one week before the pre-elmination start) to Friday, 23rd October 2026 23:59 UTC. (One week before the grand finale.)

## Prizes

First Place: 2.000 PLEX  
Second Place: 1.500 PLEX  
Third Place: 1.000 PLEX  
Fourth Place: 500 PLEX

More prizes may be awarded for outstanding submissions that don’t make it into the top four.

## Additional Notes

- The use of AI is permitted as part of a submission. But it can’t be the only thing utilized. Add your work on top. Low-effort products of AI won’t be eligible for a prize.
- Humor is great, but hard to get across. Be aware, the general audience may not understand inside jokes.
- Work that lacks basic human decency will be disqualified.
- Multiple entries are allowed, but only one entry per participant will be eligible for a prize.
- Effort will be considered – for example, a video has a likely better chances than a meme.
- For inspiration, you can find more information on the tournament here: [rules](https://www.eveonline.com/news/view/alliance-tournament-xxii-rules-and-regulations) & [prizes](https://www.eveonline.com/news/view/alliance-tournament-xxii-prizes).
- Announcement of the winners is scheduled for the week leading up to the final weekend of ATXXII (AT22).
- If you want to support this contest with ISK or assets, send them with a note to [Nora Maldoran](https://evewho.com/character/93584216).
- All donations received during the submission period will be added to the prize pool.
- Winners of the previous contest from AT21 can be found [here](https://thegreybill.wordpress.com/2025/10/21/alliance-tournament-art-contest-winner-announcement/).

**SEE YOU NEXT YEAR — an Alliance Tournament XXII anthem** (music video, 3:49)

[![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/3/f/0/3f0d6de77f318ab90590e547cf6913cda1470a4c.jpeg "See You Next Year — Alliance Tournament anthem | EVE Online song") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_9VvpnTQZk)

Six months in a scrim hole for nine minutes on camera — this is a song about  
what the Alliance Tournament actually costs the people who fly it: the practice,  
the spies in scrim channels, the comps that leak the night before, the Swiss  
format that never lets you leave, and the blessing every eliminated team hears.

How it was made:

- Original lyrics written for AT XXII (the meta shakeup, Swiss format, Halloween  
finals are all in there)
- Vocals and instrumental generated with Suno from my own lyrics and style  
direction, over multiple iterations
- Word-level karaoke sync built with a custom Remotion pipeline
- Footage from Alliance Tournament XXI broadcasts and EVE cinematics by  
Warlock Industries, used with his permission - every shot hand-picked and  
cut to the beat grid of the song
- Channel: Songs of the New Eden — i write songs about EVE ships and battles

o7 — see you in the arena.

Here is this year’s [Brave Collective roster poster](https://imgur.com/a/atxxii-brave-collective-roster-poster-Jr7PlR7)!

 ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/d/5/3/d5313e4be242906449a1ee8d573f9de7248c7a07.jpeg)

I tried to go for an acid graphics type aesthetic (dense with tiny/repeated drawings, grungy textures, strict grid, limited palette, prominent text blocks), all with an amarrian flair. Portraits and names are a staple of my AT posters. For the text, I used some of our team’s internal memes.

I think I could’ve done better with a bit more time, but the AT calendar was hectic this year! If the team gets a top 16 slot in the qualifiers I’ll consider updating the poster, perhaps to include a flagship this time.

**Trivia:** The background images in the posters feature **real astronomical objects** - galaxies and galaxy clusters. For example, the brownish structures are parts of the spiral arms of **M51 (Whirlpool Galaxy)**, while the dots are real stars. Another image is a **James Webb Deep Field** , where many of the faint red dots are among the earliest galaxies/objects ever observed in the Universe.

**Little Red Dots (LRDs)** have puzzled astronomers since Webb first detected them in 2022. They appeared in large numbers when the Universe was only **~600 million years old** , then mysteriously became rare by ~1.5 billion years. They may be a new class of galaxy - or **rapidly accreting supermassive black holes**. Their true nature is still a mystery. The red dot at the center of the central poster is a **real JWST image of a Jupiter-like exoplanet - the first such exoplanet directly imaged and photographed by the James Webb Space Telescope and humanity…** The contours and edges of some of the astronomical structures have been **slightly artistically enhanced for visual clarity and effect** , while remaining based on real astronomical imagery.

I used **few**  **dozens of high-resolution astronomical images** , precise generation instructions, choosing the related formulas, and references to real-world objects to create the presented visuals. So this was **a couple of days of work - not a cheap or fast AI generation.**

There are also several variations of the same image (first one), as I found it interesting to explore how the same concept could be interpreted and visualized in different ways.

Here’s a video I put together highlighting The Tuskers’ run in ATXXI and why they’re considered the team to beat going into this AT. Maybe slightly out of date considering a rocky run in Prelims, but I think it’s solid and I put a lot of work into it!

Phew, got it finished and scanned just in time!

ATXXII poster featuring a Harbinger Navy Issue and some medium gun spam _vibes_. 🤗 My overall goal is to evoke the feeling of vintage theatre posters. I painted this using watercolor, gouache, and white acrylic ink, 28 x 38 cm on 300gsm Arches paper.

The lettering was by far the most time-consuming part and was done by manually sketching out a digital mock-up, then using “grid-fu” to reproduce it on paper. However, what really added to the time was that I kept going way too light on my guide marks. 😆
