Fraymakers Kickstarter Art Contest

The Fraymakers Kickstarter Art Contest, also referred to as the Newgrounds Art Contest, was an art competition held by McLeodGaming on the Newgrounds website to promote the Kickstarter campaign for Fraymakers. Starting on November 18, 2020, users were tasked with creating artwork depicting characters from the playable or Assist casts in the game.

Rules
For this contest, contestants were to submit artwork featuring one or more characters from the confirmed cast of characters in Fraymakers, either playable or Assist, at the time of the contest's start date. The confirmed cast consisted of the six playable characters and eighteen Assists initially revealed through the Kickstarter campaign. Entries were divided into two categories: Pixel Art, in which the artwork must be digital and fully pixelated, and Non-Pixel Art, in which any other medium qualifies. Only one entry was allowed to be submitted per person, and entries also could not be profane, graphic, or sexually explicit.

From the starting date, entries were to be submitted to the Art Portal on Newgrounds with the "FraymakersKS" tag by the deadline of December 11, 2020. Entries would be judged by Team Fray.

Prizes
The winners for both the Pixel Art and Non-Pixel Art categories would each receive a prize of $100 and a digital copy of Fraymakers upon the game's release. In addition, three runners-up in each category would receive a digital copy of Fraymakers.

Results
Ultimately, 69 valid entries were submitted and judging began on December 12, 2020. The winners were announced on December 14, 2020, with each winner and runner-up being listed.
