It will still be included in the collection and depending on how late, could still be considered with the prize judging, given the circumstances!

Pico Day started in the forums as a day celebrating Pico but has become more of a Newgrounds Day, where the theme is to celebrate all the cool original characters you can find on NG.

To participate, create a movie, game, song or work of art celebrating something you love on Newgrounds. Upload it on May 1st and tag it with PicoDay2021.

As always, you may not use unlicensed commercial music, like songs from the radio. This is an ideal time to find music in the Audio Portal or from our royalty-free resources. Every song in the Audio Portal has info in the lower left column specifying if you are welcome to use it. Some musicians would even love to create an original piece for your movie or game!

Our advanced search options are handy for searching by song permissions and song length. For example here is music between 1:30-1:40 in length that has a CC license allowing commercial use.

There are also artists who don't choose a CC license allowing commercial use but do check our exception box for stuff that is ok to use in web-based movies and games. You can also set date ranges to only browse more recent music, as well as browsing by genres and tags.

Similarly, please don't use audio from film / television / etc..

Would song covers/original rearrangements of music from TV shows be accepted? I'm looking at using a certain song for my animation, but rearranging it in UTAU to make a cover.

This is a pretty late time to ask a question, but I only found out about Pico Day being on May 1st very recently, so please bear with me.


Initially I was gonna upload this on May the 1st, but due to a ton of things I need to take care of I decided to upload this 2 days Early.

I thought I'd go the extra mile and make it a double celebration cake, both Celebrating Pico Day and Celebrating his debut. Because while Pico Day started in 2006, Pico himself along with his friends have been around since 1999.

Sorry but covers / remixes of commercial music are also a no-go, they still have licensing issues related to the original composition.

It would still be considered, although entries from within the deadline would have an edge.

I got a good ass question about the Pico animation I'm working on before May 1st and I was wondering if the drum samples used in the original Pico flash interactive games you've created are considered copyrighted or nah?


I'm asking because the animated intro I got has the music as a placeholder incase it's alright to use it, if not then I'll create a song from scratch to replace that track, plus there's no source about where the original drum loops came from


The example video of the hideous intro that I'm creating including the Pico drum loop


Thanks for taking the time to read! Kachowwww

I can never be 100% confident but I like to think that old drum loop won't have any problems.

Radical! Thanks for the answer, Tom! Had to ask just to be on the safe side before publishing because NG is pretty strict about audio material and all that jazz, good to know that using that drum loop won't be a problem :0)
