[Event] #LoH_CreatorChallenge4 - <Art Extravaganza>

Creator Challenge is back with even more bountiful rewards!
Introducing, #LoH_CreatorChallenge4 - <Art Extravaganza>! 🎉

Check out all the festive artwork from Lords around the world this holiday season! ☃💝

※ Creator Challenge 4 - Art Extravaganza has returned! This time, with more inclusivity than ever before.

This year, Lords can now submit artwork utilizing AI technology as a separate category so that more Lords will be able to join in on the Creator Challenge festive fun.

To keep things fair, AI-assisted artwork and original artwork will be judged as separate categories.

We wouldn't want any Lords missing out on the festivities.

With this, we hope more Lords can showcase their creativity in even more diverse ways.
