HAS IT BEEN A YEAR ALREADY?! We got Madness Day 2021 coming up in one slim month, lads. This year marks the fifteenth Madness Day on Newgrounds.com. The community has kept this series alive with nothing less than incredible support and mind blowing fan artwork/animation/contributions, which makes every Madness Day something of a massive spectacle. We're doing the prize pool thing again this year, so we'll have something to hand out to the top submissions in the categories of Animation, Artwork, and Music. Last year's Prize Pool generated an absolutely insane $1816.90.

So I copied and pasted Krinkels latest post about Madness Day 2021 but I wanted to add one or two things. I've also contributed some cash to the prize pool and so have a lot of you! I don't have the exact numbers but it is well above the generous $200 initial contribution from Krinkels, so these numbers are already out dated. But I'm keeping them since they are a good reference point.

SiN2 is coming this Madness day too! The submissions for this album are mind blowing and a worthy successor to the original SiN album from last year. The entire album will be free to listen and free to use, just like last year's.

And I want to give a quick shout out to RyuuAkito for hosting and overseeing every aspect of this project. He is absolutely incredible.

Ok, back to the original post from Krinkels continued below...

PAYPAL PRIZE POOL

No admin costs, 100% of the cash collected winds up in the pockets of the MD2021 winners. We're counting all submissions posted sept 22 with the tag "Madness Day 2021"

I've tossed in the starter cash, just to get the ball rolling on this. So we're sittin' on 200 dollars out the gate. The pool will grow, and when it does we will add placements and increase prize amounts. As it stands at this amount, the prizes are as follows;

TOTAL: $200

Animation:

1st - $40

2nd - $30

3rd - $20

Art:

1st - $30

2nd - $20

3rd - $10

Music:

1st - $25

2nd - $15

3rd - $10

Just to have more on the pile, I'll be chipping in ten bucks from every Etsy Sale I make this month.
