How the Sheezy.Art Monthly Art Challenge Works

Updated

Sheezy.Art runs a monthly art challenge where the community votes on a theme, artists submit tagged artwork, and winners receive subscription tiers as prizes. For the September 2026 challenge, the theme is MACHINE, with a deadline of October 1 at 11pm GMT. You can submit up to two entries, and any medium is welcome. To participate, you need a Sheezy.Art account and must tag your submission with the month's hashtag — for September 2026, that's #SheezSep26.

How the Theme Is Chosen

Themes aren't picked by site staff alone — they come from community suggestions and votes. The September 2026 "MACHINE" theme was "suggested and voted by YOU," according to the challenge announcement. If you want to influence future prompts, you can post in the "Challenge Prompt Suggestions" block on the organizer's profile or in the Prompt Suggestions post on the site's Discord.

How to Enter

  1. Create artwork matching the theme. Interpretation is left to your discretion — the announcement states "if you think it fits it probably does," and the community is trusted to self-moderate on this point.
  2. Tag your submission. Place #SheezSep26 on the post you want to submit. The tag is what enters you into the challenge.
  3. Post it in the right place. Your artwork must either be in the appropriate Discord channel or carry the month's tag on-site.
  4. Respect the entry limit. A maximum of two entries per challenge.

Any medium is accepted, and experimentation is encouraged. Collaboration works are allowed — just credit everyone involved.

Rules and Restrictions

  • No plagiarism. Stolen or copied work is disqualified and deleted.
  • NSFW content stays on-site. NSFW artwork cannot be posted in the Discord; it must remain on Sheezy.Art and be tagged and rated appropriately.
  • Follow all site and Discord rules, including the rating guides.
  • Be respectful to other competitors.
