YC128 Liberation Day Art Contest

Republic-revering capsuleers,

All eyes in the cluster are soon on the Minmatar Republic as we will soon commemorate the Liberation Days.

The Circle of Vheroka seeks contributions of art that venerate the tribes or the Republic or our culture as a whole! To be in the running to win some cool prizes, you must submit a piece of art for review. Some of the topics it could address are:

  • Celebrate the rich history of the Minmatar people
  • Denigrate the the enemies of the Republic - i.e. the Amarr, Caldari, Angel Cartel or Triglavians
  • Highlight a famous location in Minmatar space
  • Recognize a notable Minmatar citizen and their accomplishments (this includes both capsuleers and baseliner characters)
  • Write a piece about Minmatar Architecture

Or something else not listed here - as long as it’s bigging up the Minmatar we want to see it! You can find some examples of the excellent work for a similar contest in this thread.

Valid submissions could take many different forms: memes, vintage propaganda posters, videos, songs, poetry, short stories - whatever you like as long as it bigs up the Minmatar Republic.

While we should celebrate our past achievements, the present looks bleak and it is time for us to unite against the new oppressors.
