Canvas starts on the 18th of July, less than 3 weeks away. It's an annual event where we place one pixel at a time and work together to create a masterpiece.

Here are efforts from previous years:

2024 and 2025 have canvas atlases to tell you about the different parts.

Looking for ideas on what to do for this year. Full plans or just suggestions for items to incorporate are appreciated!

Yep I reckon. Looks good!

Sweet. This is a 1:1 version that can be used as a template.

I've added it into this mega template which is used by some for planning. Added at ~~200,200~~ 220,120 which is currently free. So long as we can get started straight away and get the outline done it should be ok to not bump into anyone not aware of the pre-planning template.

When does it start?

[–] Dave 1 points 2 weeks ago

It runs from July 18th (4am UTC) to July 20th (also 4am UTC)

I think this means it starts 4pm on Saturday NZ time, 6 days from now.
