Pico Day is May 18th! (Meetup on 17th)

[TomFulp]

May 18th is Pico Day, a celebration of all things Newgrounds!

Pico Day started in the forums as a day celebrating Pico but has become more of a celebration of Newgrounds, featuring fan-works inspired by all the original creations here on NG.

To participate, create a movie, game, song or work of art celebrating something you love on Newgrounds. 

Upload it on May 18th and tag it with PicoDay2024.

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!
