SCP: Secret Laboratory Art Contest 2025
[h2]Attention Site-02, [/h2][p]The Foundation’s walls are shifting once again – not from containment failure, but creativity. We’re officially opening submissions for this year’s SCP: Secret Laboratory Art Contest, and this time, the theme is a slippery one:
Illusions, disguises, misdirection, masks behind masks… We invite you to paint lies, sculpt trickery, or draw the moment reality blinks first.
To participate in the contest, we kindly ask that you first complete the following Google Form to be registered for the Art Contest: https://forms.gle/txfx3i3SSWRaq93x8
This form will ask for some general information to help us better streamline the submission process. Participants will have one week to register themselves as a contestant.
Each participant must only submit artwork that they have created by themselves.
The winning piece will be embedded directly into SCP: Secret Laboratory, displayed in-game for thousands. Your creation will become part of the facility itself, forever lurking in the corners players don’t quite trust. Furthermore, you will be recognized globally thanks to a shiny global badge that will linger next to your nickname.
[p]
To maintain order (or the illusion thereof), the contest will follow three key phases:
Registration Phase
October 30th to November 6th.
Artists will officially enlist. Declare your intent, because illusions begin here.
Submission Phase
November 7th to November 21st.
The art breaches containment. Your single piece, your ultimate gambit. No revisions.
Public Voting Phase November 22nd to November 29th.
The community decides what truth to believe. Which art deceives the best? Which image lingers in the mind like something seen or imagined?
Whether you twist perception, hide meaning behind static smiles, or create something that stares back, we want to see how you interpret Deception. Paint us a lie we want to believe.
More details will be provided soon. Until then, keep an eye out on our Discord server and prepare your craft. In a world of deception, only one truth will remain, and it might just be yours.
See you in the dark.
