Contest: ENTER April 2026 Art Challenge -- The Inner Child

[Starscape]

Welcome to the 249th Trek BBS Fan Art Forum Challenge!

April’s Theme chosen by community vote here, is:

The Inner Child
Trade your toolbox for a toy box and explore the world of childhood! Reclaim your sense of childlike wonder and create a Trek drawing that looks like it was done by your much younger self. Depict a moment from the childhood of a favorite Trek character. Imagine what kinds of toys and games exist in the future.

As discussed in this thread, due to the decline in participation the Fan Art Challenge will be taking a break for a while but it will return for Star Trek's 60th Anniversary in September.



The Rules

• the artwork you submit should be created during the month of the challenge
• only one final image can be submitted (although it may contain multiple views)
• your final entry should be posted in this thread (although dedicated WIP threads are appreciated)

A Request

• In light of the TrekBBS's position on Imgur, it is requested that you please do NOT host entry images using Imgur (some alternatives are listed in the linked thread). As we like to be as inclusive as possible and as Imgur no longer serves the UK, images hosted there will not reach a sizeable proportion of the TrekBBS community and so potentially damage your chances in the challenge poll.

The winner gets to wear the golden “Fan Art Challenge Winner” badge on their profile for the following month.

You have until Thursday 30 April to share your final entry with us here in this thread. As always, if you have any suggestions, questions or if you need more time, use this thread to let us know.

Looking forward to seeing your art.

Have Fun!

Should we let this run through May?

Sorry, I'm been kinda abstent on this - lots on my mind. Yeah, let's keep this open and see what develops.

I do have an idea for this Theme, it's just finding the time...
