The poll is now open! Please vote for your favourites.
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 up to five submissions in each monthly thread. This nominations thread will be open for submissions until 2026-03-11T18:00:00Z.
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 – 2026 competition at the end of the year.
Best of Krita-Artists – 2026
In January 2027, 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 – 2026” badge. In case you missed it, here are the results from last years’ winning entries: Best of K-A 2025
How to Submit a Nomination for Monthly Featured Artwork

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.
thank you for your kind words @BadGirl2023 but this paint is already selected for January, I think its not allow to participate twice in a row but Im not sure, anyway if this is possible I will like to nominate someone from last month contest also.
Is this possible? @sooz
In the instructions at the top of this thread you will see that images with the tag “featured” are not eligible. It means they were nominated and won at some point.
The instructions will help you select images to nominate.
Thank you so much @BadGirl2023. Sadly, it was nominated a few months ago, so I guess it can’t be nominated again.
But I truly appreciate the nomination and the kind words friend
Thank youuu! To be honest, simply take litle steps, and do not forget to enjoy the process, since in the end it would be the thing that will make you improve, no matter the topic.
You can do that and much more if you enjoy and love what you do
. Sadly, it was nominated a few months ago, so I guess it can’t be nominated again.
