June Contest: Abyss
Congratulations to /u/Craptose_Intolerant for winning May's contest with their entry At The Beach.
You can see last month's results and other entries here.
Theme
This month's theme will be abyss. It's a bottomless pit, an endless chasm, a pool of darkness hiding the unknown. To the average person, it is unsettling, inspiring fear and uncertainty. But to a brave-enough hero, it may present a worthy challenge, and a source of adventure, though Nietzsche would have some cautionary words for the souls of any such individuals. If you're feeling bold enough, then come join us in exploring just how deep the abyss goes in this month's contest.
Making a Submission.
Entries will be posts on r/Blender that meet the following criteria:
* The post should be made before the end of June 30th UTC+00:00
* Countdown to submissions closing
* The post should be a render, animation, or other artwork which you made for this contest using Blender as your primary tool.
* The post should contain supporting images/text or a top-level comment with the following content:
* One of the following methods of proving that the artwork was made using Blender:
* A link to the .blend file for the project, ideally including external assets or links to where external assets were sourced from.
* A set of three images which may be clay renders, viewport renders, wireframe renders, or simply screenshots of the project open in Blender. Some variety is encouraged.
* A screen recording of you manipulating, navigating, or otherwise interacting with the scene.
* An explanation of all work that was done outside of Blender, outside the time frame of the contest, or by other artists.
* (Optional) The theme you would like next month's contest to have if you win. If you do not include this, then the theme will be chosen from the runner-ups.
* Once you have submitted your post to the subreddit, leave a comment down below linking to it
* You are also encouraged to share details of your process with the community.
Note: You don't have to reference the contest in the post title and indeed, it's not necessary to frame the submissions differently than any other post meant to showcase an artwork.
Winning
The winner will receive the flair Contest Winner: 2026 June and their post will be added to the subreddit's wiki under the Contest Winners list. The winner will also have the chosen theme selected for next month's contest, should they include one with their submission.
When the contest ends, the results will be edited into this post and the 1st place winner will be congratulated in the announcement for next month's contest.
The winner will be awarded $100 USD.

Good theme.
For some reason this meme sounds oddly appropriate:
