Spring is nearly upon us, and what better way to celebrate this important transition, than by sharing and discovering worldwide and culturally-important spring festivities?
We all know Easter, Passover, but what about other festivals? How do other countries and cultures celebrate the Spring arrival?
And for our bold fellow Pangaean Countries, it's a great opportunity to share the ideas of your own unique culture!
So welcome to the 2nd edition of PangaeanCulture's Worldwide Cultural Spring Festival Contest.
How to participate?
If you have a DeviantArt account, I highly encourage to follow the guidelines outlined there, as it makes the process easier (and you also win different kinds of prizes compared to Discord or forum ones).

HOWEVER, you can participate even without DeviantArt!
- By tagging this OP (or by tagging my name), submit as a comment any kind of art representing a cultural spring festival, tradition, custom, or festivities, may it be digital or traditional, may it be a painting, drawing, photomanipulation, photography, poem, prose, music, etc. The key point here is to introduce a relatively unknown spring festival, or your Country's unique ones; however, you are welcomed to choose conventional ones such as Easter, Passover, etc. And really, anything that happens between March and early June counts. 😉
- You may even post a non-fiction piece or an essay-type submission, as in a presentation of the festival, etc.
- Remember to credit any stocks and images used in your submissions if they are not your own images or stocks!
- You can post as many submissions as you want!
- All submissions from all outlets will be compiled, and be voted upon to choose 3 winners and 5 runner-ups.
The prizes.
No contest is fun without prizes! Winning submissions from Discord or forum entries will be awarded differently from DeviantArt ones, but
