It's that time of year again! Pokimono's Secret Santa is officially open for signups!
We're hosting an art gift exchange where members will be randomly matched with another participant to draw one of their characters. You'll submit your character choices and preferences, receive your giftee's wishlist, and create a little something for them!
π IMPORTANT DATES
- Signups Close: November 30, 2026 at 6:59 PM EST
- Gift Exchange Begins: December 24, 2026
- Final Submission Deadline: January 14, 2027 at 6:59 PM EST
π¨ GIFT REQUIREMENTS
- Your gift must feature at least one character listed by your giftee.
- Artwork must be fully colored. Sketches and lineart alone do not count.
- Busts and full-body artwork are both acceptable.
- Backgrounds are optional unless otherwise requested.
- Stylized artwork is absolutely welcome!
π HOW TO PARTICIPATE
- Visit the Secret Santa page while signed in with Discord.
- Select characters from your approved Pokimono roster.
- Fill out your wishlist with what you'd like your Secret Santa to draw.
- Once matches are revealed, return to the page to see who you're drawing for!
- Keep your giftee a secret until gifts are shared!
β¨ A FEW THINGS TO KNOW
- Signups are website only.
- You can volunteer as a substitute artist or sign up exclusively as a substitute.
- You can add members to an optional avoid list if there are people you'd prefer not to be matched with.
- You may edit or withdraw your signup until matches are assigned.
β οΈ DEADLINES & THE NAUGHTY LIST
We understand that life happens! If you don't think you'll finish your gift on time, please DM PokiBot by the first week of January so the mod team can help make arrangements.
Missing the deadline without notifying staff will place you on the Naughty List, preventing you from participating in next year's exchange.
Please only sign up if you're reasonably confident you can complete your gift!
