The Black Chalice - Round 2 - 2026
Hey folks! A second round of the Black Chalice competition is upon us! We've decided to let go of themes, so you are completely free to come up with your own ideas and follow inspiration where it strikes. As long as the entry falls into one of the categories, do whatever you like! We've also changed the prizing, which now makes placing and qualifying for the Main Category much, much easier. We've also streamlined the rules to be less restrictive. Entering here is how you get a chance to qualify for the upcoming Black Chalice Main Category, as well as win prizes set for the current round.
