To celebrate the upcoming Tap Ninja's 4 year anniversary, we are announcing another art contest! We are calling upon everyone with a sliver of creativity to draw and create original artworks that are Tap Ninja themed!

Draw anything that comes to your mind! The art doesn't have to be drawn either, want to stitch up an icon composition? Awesome! Want to make a musical cover for Tap Ninja OST? Noticed a ninja like cloud in the sky? Snap it and post it here! Anything that is Tap Ninja related is eligible for the contest. If you can imagine it - create it!

The only exception is AI art - we want to see your personal creative skills, so AI art is not eligible for winning. If the creation will look dubious, we might ask for proof of creation process. The entries also have to be "safe for work" or they will be disqualified.

Entries will be judged by the Moderators based on our own preferences. Numerous winners in different categories will be chosen to receive packs of Amber in Tap Ninja, with the main prize being 20'000 Amber!

You can post your work of art over here, or in the Discord server where the activity is the greatest -

https://discord.gg/WcgUKc8Fp5

The deadline for entries is set for 31 August 2025 23:59 UTC with the winners being announced not long afterwards.

Note - your submitted art might get used for promotional materials and shown off in Tap Ninja related posts!
