May 1st was Pico Day, an annual celebration of Pico that evolved into an annual celebration of Newgrounds that, perhaps due to the name, tends to revolve around Pico.
Turnout this year was impressive, thanks to the runaway success of Friday Night Funkin’ and renewed interest in characters like Pico and Tankmen. The art category alone had around 1,000 entries! It’s been tough to nail down the winners with so many great entries but we are ready to announce our picks:
