This event has now closed. The winners were announced here on December 6th 2020.
Some of you may be unable to spend Thanksgiving with loved ones this year, so we decided to bring the festivities to you! TBT’s Turkey Day is a gathering where everyone is welcome, but there is one catch – you need to bring something to contribute to the celebration!
How to Participate
Everyone has been randomly assigned a prompt. You can view your assigned prompt either by looking under your collectibles in the postbit or by clicking here. Your prompt will consist of an Animal Crossing villager and an item to contribute to either the feast or decor.
Your task is to work with these two prompts to create a piece of work—whether a drawing, a craft, or a culinary creation—that links the two halves of your prompt in some way. It’s up to you how you wish to interpret the task, so please also include a sentence or two of text with your submission to explain why you have decided to go in the direction you have.
Some examples of directions you may wish to take:
- what you think that villager might bring to a Thanksgiving meal
- a decoration or dish based on that villager's colour scheme or design
Rules
- Entries must be your own work.
- No collaborative projects.
- Your entry must relate to your assigned prompt.
- Submissions can be hand drawn, digital, crafted, or cooked! No matter what prompt you receive we will accept flat drawings.
- Animations, videos, etc are not accepted.
- A reasonable amount of effort should be put into your creations. Submissions that appear rushed or made as a joke won't be accepted.
- All entries submitted are final. Please do not edit your entry after submission unless asked to by a staff member.
- Your username must be visible somewhere in your submission.
- Keep all creations appropriate for a PG-13 audience.
How to Submit
Submit your entry by posting it in this thread by 11:59pm EST on November 29th, 2020. Your TBT username must be visible somewhere in the image, either on a name card or in the case of digital artwork written directly on the image. Please also include what your prompt was and a sentence or two of text to explain how your entry links to this prompt.

Participation Prize: 120 forum bells.
