Starscape: Aphelion is an independent, online art and writing competition hosted on The Dragon Adventures Wiki, brought to you by team of twenty-two devoted community members.
Following in the footsteps of Starwalking 2024 and Starcension 2025, Starscape 2026 again ventures beyond traditional art competitions. Though, this time, we invite participants into an Alternate Reality Game (ARG) infused experience. The ARG is a fragmented storyline that will hopefully serve as inspiration for individual submissions.
Starscape is expected to serve as the third and final season of this creative competition series, known for its flexible deadlines, broad prompts, and engaging structure.
Memories will be the emphasized theme of Starscape.
This project is not affiliated with The Dragon Adventures Franchise, Sonar Studios, or The Dragon Adventures Wiki Team. However, we are constantly in touch with Wiki Staff Members to deliver the event you deserve.
Countdown!

🔹Event Logistics🔹
(We reserve the right to make beneficial changes to this section based on polling results, such as extending the final deadline.)
💠Starscape: Aphelion formally begins January 1st, 2026.💠
Prompt: Famous Irish playwright Oscar Wilde once wrote the famous line, "Memory is the diary we all carry about with us" (1985). Renowned English poet William Wordsworth agreed, proclaiming that "When thy mind / shall be a mansion of all lovely forms, / Thy memory be as a dwelling place / For all sweet sounds and harmonies" (1798). In that light, carefully reflect on what memories mean to you. Create a submission that encapsulates your perspective on memories.
💠Starscape Aphelion formally ends May 31st, 2026.💠
The Starscape Team understands that a strict deadline causes immense stress. Therefore, we have agreed to post low-stake check-ins throughout the event and establish a 2 - 3 week non-penalizing, late submission window past the pre-determined deadline.
If you find yourself struggling at any point with the creative process, please feel free to reach out to our friendly Starscape Support Team! We would love to help you or provide accommodations. Accommodations will be reviewed and provided on a case-by-case basis.
Over the course of this event, The Starscape Team will distribute clues/puzzles/ciphers relevant to The Starscape ARG in our many stories, graphics, mini-games, and message wall descriptions. Be on the look out for those! You might find the ARG interesting, and there will be ways in which you can influence how this story goes!
All Starscape prizes are WIP right now. More information will be posted about our prizes soon. We apologize for the delay and appreciate your patience.
