the event has concluded!
thank you all for participating!
this has been incredibly fun to run, as it was last year (although there was a bit more hiccups this time around)

Future events
I'm planning to host another one next year, so stay tuned π
If you have suggestions for canvas 2025 or any other events, post them in this post (thanks Ategon)
Supporting the project πππ
I have spent a little over 6 months completely rebuilding Canvas from the ground up to support future features, and i would love to work on more fediverse events
poster sales
posters of the final canvas will be sold, if you would like to stay updated with information on those, follow the Mastodon account or send an email to hello@sc07.company π
at time of writing; the gitlab server randomly restarts due to resource limits
Timelapses
i need to rewrite the timelapse script as some people pointed out some weirdness with the other ones (that's also what delayed this post by almost 3 hours)
Thank you to everyone who was involved in the creation of this, it was a lot of fun and I can't wait for the next one. It's crazy how much nicer it was compared to the one from that other site. I placed a little doodle on the first day not expecting it to survive the night because it was in the path of another large piece. But when I checked the next day, someone had actually moved it to the side. That never would've happened on r/place.
It was similar for me! I was bored and put an UwU down on the canvas at the beginning of the event and it survived almost until the end! People kept repairing it too and put the rainbow road below without destroying it. In the end the space got repurposed for a cute pony which is for the best x3
I'm very surprised how long it lasted though! This community is so nice!
Same with me. I put a little heart in the middle left corner, and then went away on a trip. I was completely shocked to see it was still there for the final image. And love that it was worked into the Android logo. Thanks to all!!
