# Paint Party

Paint Parties are vibrant, themed events where participants create new pixel art cards based on a central theme within a limited time. Usually 1-3 days long.\
\
These parties can be purely for enjoyment or offer exciting prizes for the best creations, adding a fun element of competition.

## Community Creation

Grab a themed paint cartridge to dive in! Sometimes they're free, and other times you can unlock them with ETH or a tweet. We're always innovating to make participation easy and inclusive for everyone.

## Community Voting

Paint Parties are free to enter. You can paint as many Dot cards as you want. Once you have painted and published your submission, other players can vote for your art and mint it.

Each party is a bit different but typically each person gets a few votes per day to vote for their favorites. Bonus votes are applied if a fan mints your card too.

## Remixable Assets

After a Paint Party, the artwork created is all licensed under CC0. Dot has used it to create assets for different gaming assets like [Aura](https://guide.dot.fan/cards/auras) icons. They can also be remixed into stickers, merch, memes and more.
