CrawlCon Children's Art Contest

kids' art contest

A three-day convention daycare event whose celebrity judges score children's creations from one to thirty.

Story so far

The physical CrawlCon daycare offers families a paid contest using supplies ranging from crayons to self-learning sculpting clay. Three virtual celebrity judges evaluate each entry, while Mexx-style robots manage the mixed-species children.

On Carl's day the judges are Carl, Hurk, and G'valt. Their inconsistent and corrupt scoring gives Lix a perfect ninety, while Keith H. finishes last and the traditionally successful Eyber entry loses.

Appearance

A chaotic alien daycare full of children, floating robots, art materials, and virtual judging screens.

Role

The event mixes ordinary childhood behavior with celebrity decline, bribery, and inter-faction convention politics.

Relationships

Lix — She wins through three perfect scores.
Hurk — He serves as an established celebrity judge.
The Eyber Faction — Its high-quality entry loses despite the group usually winning.
