Edit 3/18: The deadline for the submission period has been extended to April 6, 2022. That means more time to create your entry for this amazing event for a chance to win some cool prizes (see below)! Good luck, and remember, have fun!

Do you like art? Do you like in-game art? Do you like creating art pieces on the Frankenline in Grounded that can end up raising money for charity? Then keep reading!

For Earth Day, Grounded is hosting the #FrankenArt Frankenline Contest! We are asking our community to hop on the Frankenline and create a masterpiece worthy of being printed on a shirt because it might do just that!

We will take the winning designs and print them on a shirt to sell in our store. From every sale made, we will donate part of the proceeds to a foundation that aligns with the values of the Grounded team.

Still need more convincing? It's free to enter! You can read the rules and details below to see how to enter and how you can get YOUR ART on a shirt!
