The day of (May 1st) is ideal!
ya, Boku no Pico is great, didn't knew about this date, but the character Pico surely deserves a comemorative date. :3

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..

Just hit the arrow/upload icon/button thing on the top right to submit your stuff, and be sure to include the official tag to be included in the competition/collection (mentioned in the opening post).
Direct link to your projects if you can't find that button: https://www.newgrounds.com/projects

I think they do checks too. If not; if that doesn't work for you; if you do win: best get an account. ;)
You can participate without competing too btw, if it's still a problem.

im excited for tomorrow
School than pico then drawing than playing game then...

Ready guys? The server might crash but we can check it later... the final day. Last stretch
this might be the stupidest question ever asked of questions, but my game might not come out on pico day so is it ok if it comes after pico day?
Here are my submissions! I made two since I thought of adding two art mediums! (sorry if Darnell looks weird)
turtle can draw yes

It will still be included in the collection and could be considered for judging, although the later something is the more that will hurt it in the judging phase.
At 4/30/21 09:45 AM, Linkellx wrote: Stupid question but, how long will the judging last?
Hard to say, could be around two weeks. Will depend on how much stuff shows up, too.
i'm so excited (not in the dirty sense xd)
It Something
Its Markest

HI, I'm really new around here, and I was wondering what the policy around when to post our creations is? Do I post it tomorrow, or like really late tonight? This is my first participation in Pico day so I'm not totally clear on how it works.
Thanks!
Oops apparently I can't read, I figured it out
