Welcome to the Featured Artwork submissions thread. This is where Krita-Artists members nominate artwork to appear in the featured row.
How it works
Each month, around the 15th, we’ll post a nominations thread. Krita-Artists members can make one submission in each monthly thread. This nominations thread will be open for submissions until 2025-04-11T18:00:00Z.
Everyone is welcome to vote when the poll is published. The five images receiving the most votes will be inducted into the featured artwork row. Winning images will also be entered into the Best of Krita-Artists – 2025 competition at the end of the year.
Best of Krita-Artists – 2025
In January 2026, we will publish a post containing all the winning entries from the previous year. K-A member voting will determine the top ten and these finalists will be awarded a “Best of Krita-Artists – 2025” badge. In case you missed it, here are the results from last years’ winning entries: Best of K-A 2024
How to Submit a Nomination for Monthly Featured Artwork
Tag the artist using their @ name, insert a link to the full-size image and then add a link to the original post. You may want to open 2 tabs in your browser as you will need to refer to the original post twice.

Guidelines
Forum members may make one nomination per month.
You may not nominate your own work.
All artwork published in the Artwork:Finished Artwork category is eligible. The only exception is artwork that is already featured (look for the “featured” tag next to the post title).
The featured artwork nomination process is brought to you by Krita-Artists’ Admins and Moderators. We welcome feedback and suggestions. To submit feedback, please click here and add your thoughts.
Please forgive me if I submit my nomination incorrectly, this is my first time, but I would like to nominate “Go fly a kite” by @ARandhahn
I love how bright, happy, and overall colorful the piece is, as well as having interesting paint textures at play. Go Fly a Kite
You added your nomination correctly. When the nomination period is over, I use the nominated images to create a poll. That will happen around the 11th of the month.
Hello, thank you very much for recommending my work on the forum. At the moment, I am in the hospital and under strong medication, so I can’t provide an extended response. I sincerely appreciate your kindness and understanding.
I nominate Japanese girl paint by @Joao_Batista.
This phantastic work deserves to be part of this nomination, at least to make the decision finding not too easy.
I had made it my wallpaper, but I had to remove it from my desktop because it made working impossible, I had to study this picture, couldn’t take my eyes off it, it’s magically attractive …
I want to say - I still think we should be able to nominate more images; It frustrates me having to pass over high quality pieces. There just aren’t enough people participating in nominations and voting.
As I’ve also mentioned before - I think it might help to make this thread a permanent sticky each month, so it remains in peoples minds when they visit instead of keep dropping down the thread list. That’s assuming Discourse has that as an option?
