Welcome to the 2026 year-long Mini-contests. Instead of one summer mega-event, we will be having a new mini-contest start every Sunday for an entire year. The contest will run five days, end on Friday, go into community voting over the weekend, and then the next mini-contest will start on Sunday. There is only one winner per mini-contest, to be announced on Tuesdays.

Mini-contest weekly themes (subject to change as needed)
