The path to honors has officially been laid out. The Keyframe team has finalized the roadmap leading up to the main night: Submissions close on October 30, voting starts on November 4, voting closes on December 20, and the main event is on January 9!
To keep the energy sky-high and ensure only the absolute best visual art reaches the final stage, we are introducing a competitive new dynamic: **there will be an elimination weekly** once voting is live!
Important Timeline Milestones
- October 30: Nomination Submissions officially close. All entry links must be submitted in the database by this day.
- November 4: The Public Voting Bracket opens. The official nominations go live, and community voting begins.
- Weekly Eliminations: Every single week, the entries with the lowest votes in each bracket will be eliminated, narrowing down the competition.
- December 20: Voting closes. The final standings are locked in.
- January 9: The Main Event! Winners are officially crowned.
"The weekly elimination format is designed to keep our audience highly engaged, creating a fun, suspenseful build-up where every vote truly counts."
