wow, didn't expect my suggestion to actually be chosen

This is a great and creative idea. I'll try to cook something up

Now that looks like a job for me

Just pointing out:

You may want to actually pin this. It's a post made by a mod, yes, and it does use the Announcement tag, but it's just going to end up burried. If you want people to see this (both so they know it's happening and so that they know the rules and can return to them quickly), you should probably pin it.

As an aside, in general, the mods really need to pin their posts more often. There are some ancient, long buried rules that only exist in mod posts that never got pinned (so nobody knew they happened) and never got added to the rules themselves (for whatever reason).

Once the drawing is ready, it is published in this same subreddit, right? And you have to add a label or something to enter the contest, or do you just have to follow the requirements to enter?

I have been summoned

In the years to come, will the event continue to start on December 6th or will the start date be moved to another date like the first? I guess it doesn’t really matter because there’s no way to enforce a time restriction other than the end date but even so.

My entry, I call them Pipe pickers. Using their slender ribbon eel like bodies and whiskers, the Qu used them to access hard to reach places, specifically the interiors of plumbing pipes. They had whiskers and giant eyes to find objects, and a long slender mouth to pick it up. They also have both lungs and gills

When the Qu left, they survived for a bit, but ultimately died out when their planet experienced a global drought similar to the permian-triassic extinction a few dozen million years after the Qu left. The snake people would take specific interest in preserving their fossils in the Second Galactic Empire
