MOVIES
ART (Is it bad sport since this is my oc? Hypothetical question, don't care, look at this freakin' action shot!)
AUDIO (Had one in mind but can't find it. These have had some extra attention from appearing in my projects but I'm out of time to look for more (also I don't care)).
GAMES
Got nothing.

I was actually thinking of making a playlist called something like "Hidden Gems" to feature them myself!
That would be interesting. You should go for it.

After more than a decade, @SplatterDash and @The-Great-One are reviving the Newgrounds Treasure Hunt!
Millions of creations have been shared on Newgrounds and only a small number ever get featured. A lot of great works fall through the cracks and the goal of the Treasure Hunt is to unearth the biggest hidden gems on the site.
What You Are Hunting For
As a treasure hunter, your goal is to find the best movies, games, art and audio that have never been featured and have not won any trophies, including daily awards or review crew picks.
Entries must have been published between January 1st, 2012 and February 3rd, 2023.
Each participant can suggest a maximum of TWO entries per content type. That means two movies, two games, two audio and two pieces of art.
Please don't suggest your own work.
Deadline
The deadline to enter is Friday, February 17th.
Prizes
The best item in each category will be awarded $188 to the creator and $188 to the person who discovered it.
We are crowdfunding to increase these prizes! If you’re down to sponsor this event, use the donation option on the Supporter page and PM me with a heads up that you are donating to the Treasure Hunt.

Judging

How to Submit Your Entries
Before entering, check to see if anyone already suggested your item, as repeats will be ignored. SplatterDash is maintaining a spreadsheet of entries so you can search that page for your URL. This sheet won't always be 100% up-to-date but will cover most of the entries at any given time.
When ready, post the links to your gems as a reply to this post. Paste each URL on its own line by itself; our forum system will auto-convert that to a rich media link with a thumbnail and info.

For those of us who knows that feeling all too well...

Robin Williams, unforgotten to me
Sinister and full of atmosphere

Perfect for any fantasy setting
Ambience song that always reminds me of old "Lucas Arts" games like "The Dig"

As the end of the hunt draws near I am forced to make my choices .
From the art category :
From the music category :
From the games :
and lastly the videos :
- even tough the creator received rewards for other videos I see no reason why this should not have one too
- although the collaboration was cancelled this work still deserves something , at the very least for the sections that are finished
Considering the relatively vast quantity of entries for this hunt the judges have a lot of work to do .

Best pirate simulator adventure RPG ever. You need to learn to play it. And best space adventure in a long time:
I love a good RPG and pirates are always cool.

Good luck.
ART
The face work this dude does is a step above.
Lighting.
AUDIO
Ambient has quickly become my favorite category in the Audio Portal.
GAMES
Have seen a couple by @PastelGames on the the list already. Classics, all.
MOVIES
The hero we deserve.
A classic.
Like a Khan.
Digging through some of my faves, found a few things I think would qualify for this!
Audio:
I think Bertn1991 seriously goes under the radar when it comes to his music. It was hard choosing which tracks of his to pitch, but I think these two highlight his style pretty well.
Art:
A handful of other artists that I think deserve a spotlight:
Movies:
Can't go wrong with Newgrounds toons about stoners and crackheads.
Games:
Some games I think went under the radar the first time they came around!

Sounds awesome! I'll post two songs. Somehow both of these never got even a feature on NG audio
How long does it usually take for an entry to get accepted? I just wanna make sure my submissions are in

I know they're in a style that Newgrounds typically doesn't prefer (for some reason), but they're probably the most remarkably well designed and satisfying platformers I've ever played.
There is nothing wrong with submitting two games by the same author.
