Miscellaneous Avatar Contest Theme List

Hi, folks:

There have been a lot of avatar contests over the years, and it's come to the point where the winners are sometimes scrambling for a theme for the next contest. We're creative people and want to be original, so it's nice to have a theme that hasn't been done before.

Therefore, with Locutus' help, I have compiled this list of previous avatar contest themes from 2010 - present.

If each new contest host (usually the winner of the previous one) adds their chosen theme to the list and includes the link to this thread in their OP (opening post), we can keep this list updated and make it easier for future winners to decide on what themes they want to use.

Here is the list of avatar contest themes we found (from earliest to most recent):
