Happy holiday season, Vivarium!

2025 is coming to a close, and that means Christmas is just around the corner! And we all know what that means ... it's time for Vivarium's Third Annual Secret Santa!

This year, we will only be doing virtual Secret Santa exchanges in the form of an art exchange!

Note: "Art" can come in the form of drawn art, or in the art of photomanipulation! This can be done by you or purchased from another artist off-site (with proper credit).

To sign up, fill out the form listed below and reply to this thread!

Registration for the exchange is open until November 27th, which gives everyone a little over a week to get signed up! The due date for your gift exchange will be is December 25th.

Once registration is over, you will be paired up (secretly! and randomly!) with another member on site. Don't let them know it was you until you post their present! Teehee.

Rules

1. Please do not sign up if you don’t intend to send a gift. Any member who fails to fulfill their Santa Claus duties may be barred from such events in the future!

2. Please keep your wishlist realistic with plenty of options! Any member who requests only outrageously priced art pieces/gifts will be barred from future participation. Remember, this is supposed to be fun and easy for everyone!

3. Please be thankful and kind, regardless of what you are given! Staff will not tolerate any of our members making others feel guilty about a present they gifted. If this behavior is spotted, you will no longer be able to participate in such events in the future.

Thank you all for your understanding and participation! Have fun!

So you want to be an elf? — You are also able to register as an elf for the exchange, as well! Elves will take over for a member if they cannot fulfill their Secret Santa Duties! Please know this may mean you will have to create a couple of extra pieces at the end of the year! We appreciate all you elves!
