The Christmas Art & Room Competitions Are In!
Thank you to everyone who entered the 2025 Christmas competitions!
This year's Christmas competition brought together both art and room building. From cozy festive scenes to imaginative holiday artwork, the creativity on display truly captured the spirit of the season.
A small but dedicated group of enthusiasts submitted some very remarkable and impressive pieces this year, with some absolute stand-outs. We are always so blown away with the creativity and effort you all put into your entries.
For our art entries, we only received two entries, guaranteeing both of them a prize!
Art Competition Entries

Judges comments:
This piece beautifully captures the warmth and charm of Christmas in Pixadom, with expressive characters and a joyful, welcoming atmosphere. The soft color palette and painterly style give the scene a gentle festive feel, while the clear composition keeps the focus on the shared moment between the characters.
We especially loved the inclusion of in-game details such as the snow machine in the background and the elf hat worn by the character on the right. These thoughtful touches ground the artwork firmly in the Pixadom world and show a strong connection to recent additions in the game, making this a charming and well-considered entry.
2nd Place - Sakumon

Judges comments:
This piece presents a winter-themed scene with a strong focus on atmosphere, using scale and lighting to create a sense of place around the central tree. The soft background and minimal color palette give the scene a quiet, almost dreamlike quality, while the shadowed figure on the left adds a hint of mystery that makes the composition feel more uneasy than festive.
We always encourage players to submit their work, as you never know who else might enter, and every submission has a chance to shine. Taking part is what keeps these events fun and creative, and this piece is a great example of putting yourself out there and contributing to the community spirit.
Room Building Competition Entries
1st Place - Lilly
"Santa's Workshop"

Judges' comments:
"Santa's Workshop" is an exceptionally creative build that goes beyond decoration to deliver a fully realised concept. By using info signs as part of the design, the room cleverly functions as a Christmas-themed shop, with each cluster of items thoughtfully presented alongside descriptions and prices, turning the workshop into an interactive experience. The layout is clear and intentional, guiding players naturally through the space while reinforcing the story at every step. This smart use of in-game mechanics to enhance narrative and immersion makes the room feel alive, purposeful, and genuinely inventive - a standout build and a well deserved first place.
2nd Place - Grey
"Holiday Ice Palace"

Judges' comments:
"Holiday Ice Palace" delivers a striking and elegant build, with a strong sense of symmetry that immediately gives the room a grand, ceremonial presence. The cool colour palette and reflective surfaces work beautifully together, creating a crisp winter atmosphere that feels calm and deliberate rather than busy. Every element appears carefully placed, from the central focal point to the surrounding decorative details, resulting in a layout that feels balanced, cohesive, and thoughtfully designed. It is a clean and confident room that captures a refined take on holiday theming within Pixadom.
3rd Place - Mathias
"Naughty or Nice (Santa's Workshop)"

Judges' comments:
"Naughty or Nice (Santa's Workshop)" is a playful and well thought out room that uses space and layout to tell a clear story. The workshop areas feel purposeful, from Santa's desk where decisions are made to the elves' toy-making corner in the lower section, each zone contributing to the overall narrative. The standout feature is the Naughty or Nice minigame on the right side, which adds an interactive layer to the build and gives the room a fun twist beyond visual design alone. This combination of storytelling, structure, and creativity makes for an engaging and memorable entry.
