Each month, around the 15th, we’ll post a nominations thread. Krita-Artists members can make up to five submissions in each monthly thread. This nominations thread will be open for submissions until 2025-12-11T18:00:00Z.
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 up to five nominations 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.
It’s always challenging to paint a subject with strong light and shadows. Especially with skin, which has sub-surface light scattering, which this artist handled well.
Once again, there is a picture that deserves much more attention than it has received so far! That’s why I’m nominating @Artifist’s picture "Oui, c'est moi.", a work that clearly shows that less can be more and is absolutely sufficient to create a great work of art:
It’s no bother. Do me a favour, though. Look at the detailed instructions and tell me if there is a better way I could word it. I don’t want this to be difficult for people to add nominations.
I’ve already read it several times. I don’t get parentheses ( [ ) when I paste a copy of the footnote/ So the non-exclamation mark (!) doesn’t work. I’ve never had such problems before. This is not the first nomination.
Я несколько раз её уже читал. У меня не появляется скобки ( [ )когда я вставляю копию сноски/ Поэтому не восклицательный знак (!) не срабатывает. Раньше у меня таких проблем не было. Это уже не первая номинация
Well, what can I say, I’ve got another Ace up my sleeve for this month’s Nomination Submissions Thread.
But in this case, the Ace is a Joker, from Gotham City, masterfully staged and captured on canvas by our forum member @yan9win, here for you and your viewing pleasure: Heath Ledger as Joker
UNFORTUNATELY, this beauty isn’t eligible, because it is a traditional media work. On the one hand it makes me a little sad because I could have risen expectations to nominate it, but on the other hand are rules, rules, and they apply to each and every one of us!
Wow, what an explosion of colors! I can’t tell if this “phoenix” is rising from the ashes or vice versa, but it’s a feast for the eyes that I didn’t want to keep from the world: That’s why I’m NO LONGER nominating @RoyKannthalí’s “Melody” UV Acrylic on canvas!
With Blue goldfish@mikuma_poponta created a dream in blue which I like to nominate, not only because it deserves it but also because I can imagine how much work this must have been - maybe it pays out?!
