hazel, roald, and lolly below are celebrating diwali, a five-day festival of lights celebrated by millions of hindus, sikhs, and jains across the world. they are wearing saris and a kurta, which i was delighted to see are actual items in new horizons 
(we still need some in-game gulab jamun tho!!)
(we still need some in-game gulab jamun tho!!)
My submission \o/ mostly based around pride (rainbow flower wreath, and each room represents a different lgbtq+ flag), but also the diversity in acnh: how we dress, decorate, in flowers, etc. more detailed explanation under the spoiler
also, a version with my signature on it:
by row the flags are: gender queer, genderfluid, pansexual // aromantic, transgender, lesbian // bisexual, asexual, nonbinary
there are a lot of flags that i couldn't fit in since i wanted to keep to a 3x3 grid, so i ended up just choosing ones that were close to me in some way (i.e. personally close, or having friends who identify with it) ywy);;
the characters are just my acnh characters -- their placement is based around the idea of 'exploring their identity' in a sense, since it's a bit hard figuring out who you are sometimes, or that was my case anyways! 'w');;; i didn't really want them to be the focal point, though, hehe.

Art Contest
June 14, 2020 - June 24, 2020
Animal Crossing has the unique ability to draw in people from all walks of life. For this event we would like to see artwork that celebrates our diverse community and showcases the wholesome aspect of Animal Crossing that we all know and love. Pick a topic that resonates with you and express it within the context of Animal Crossing. Remember that the focus of this contest is about celebrating diversity and promoting inclusivity, so please keep entries positive and upbeat and take care to avoid stereotyping!
Task
Celebrating diversity and promoting inclusivity using Animal Crossing themed artwork.
Rules
- This art contest is for drawing and painting only. You may only use content you have made yourself from scratch - this means that you cannot use craft supplies, make sculptures, use renders, etc.
- Entries may be traditional or digital. Please scan or take a clear picture of any traditional artwork - it would be a shame for your work to be ruined by a bad photo!
- Your entry must fit the Celebrating Diversity theme.
- Only one entry per person. No plagiarism or collaborations.
- Please write your forum username either directly onto your entry or include it on a separate name card. You may submit two separate images of your entry (one with your username and one without) if you prefer. This means we will not need to blur your name out of the photo if your entry is nominated.
- Once your entry has been submitted it cannot be edited.
- Please put effort into your submission. If we think your entry lacks effort, or has been submitted as a joke, then it'll be disqualified.
- Keep content suitable for a PG-13 audience. If it would breach our Rules & Guidelines then it's not suitable here.
- Entries that fail to meet the requirements will not be accepted.

FAQs
Does it have to be a drawing or can I enter an alternative arts and craft project?
For this contest we are only accepting traditional and digital drawings.
Can I use fonts in my artwork?
Digital text is acceptable as long as everything else was drawn by you. Renders or editing game artwork is not allowed.
Who will decide who wins? The staff or members' votes?
The staff will vote internally to nominate entries. The entries with the most staff votes will then go forward to a public poll within one week of the contest closing. The recipients for the first, second, and third place prizes will then be decided on by the community.

@Mistreil So much detail is in your picture! I think I recognize most of the items you drew, but what is the rectangular thing behind the fortune telling kit in the top middle room? It's very pretty, and I'd like to know what it is, please.

thanks for extending the deadline guys! I've had an idea in mind for a week now but I couldn't find time to draw due to finals being in the way. Everyone's drawings look so good rn!
Thanks for extending the date, was thinking about maybe entering this. I can draw, but I’ve been lacking in creative juice since the end of last year. Hoping this jumpstarts my motivation for drawing again; the theme surely is rattling the gears in my head.
Great job to those that have entered! Lots of creativity here for sure.
