Vector boost #1 - September 2025 TOTM

This September will be a bit different: unlike our usual challenges, this time there’s no prescribed theme of the month. The only requirement is that submissions be thematic sets of original SVG icons. The focus is on boosting our graphics library with more high-quality icons, expanding beyond just mouse cursors. Your set can follow any theme you choose (fantasy, modern UI, gaming, seasonal vibes, etc.), as long as the icons form a consistent collection. Submissions must be your own work, though you may take inspiration from existing icon libraries on the web for ideas and style references.

This will be the first in a recurring series of SVG icon contests, planned to run around three times a year, giving artists plenty of chances to contribute and experiment. Every round will help build a bigger, more versatile library for the whole community to enjoy. Whether you’re a seasoned designer or just getting started with vector art, this is your chance to leave a lasting mark. Get creative, think in sets, and help shape the future look of our graphics collection!

To participate, please create an icon set with at least 8 different SVG icons, preferably 256x256 pixels in size, publish it in the Gallery between September 1st and 22nd, and then reply to this topic specifying the set that you want to submit to the contest.

Contest starts on August 31st

Submission phase will end and voting will start on September 21st. The contest will conclude and participants will be able to claim their prizes on September 30th.

The winner will receive 25, the runner-up will receive 15, and the 2nd runner-up will receive 10.
