Here at Countdown to Groundhog Day, we feel like there’s not enough groundhog related art out in the world, and we’d really like to change that. So we’re holding a small art contest to try and inspire some great woodchuck themed drawings or paintings.
For this contest, we’re asking you to paint or draw a scene from your favorite movie, but with groundhogs replacing the actors/characters. Groundhogs as Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader during their famous final duel. Or groundhogs as Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, and Raphael in a scene from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze. Or a groundhog and a squirrel as Johnny and Mark from the classic film The Room. The sky, or more accurately, the ground, is the limit!
If you’d like to participate, when completed send an image of your artwork via email to:
groundhog@countdowntogroundhogday.com
We cannot wait to see what you all come up with!
If you have any additional information about your submission that you’d like to share, please include it in your email.
Entries must be the original artwork of the submitter. There will be prizes for the top 3 vote getters. We don’t have a huge budget but were able to find some spare change in the couch in the Countdown to Groundhog Day breakroom.
Submission Start Date: Saturday, January 15th, 2022
Submission End Date: Wednesday, January 26th, 2022 (all entries must be received by midnight)
Voting will begin on Thursday, January 27th, 2022 on the Countdown to Groundhog Day website, open to all users. Voting will end on Tuesday February 1st, 2022 at 11:59PM, Eastern Time (ET). The winning entries will be posted on the Countdown to Groundhog Day website and the winners notified via email on or about February 2nd, 2022 (Groundhog Day!).
