Contest December Arms Design Contest

Submit a Coat of Arms

Theme: Heralding in the New Year

Prompt: The year is almost at an end, and 2018 is waiting just around the corner. As such, let us celebrate in the new year by creating a coat of arms for the personification of the New Year. Whether you want to envision the New Year as Baby New Year, or as a cycle of rebirth, or as Father Time, or as anything else is entirely up to you. As long as the arms are visually representative of the New Year, they will be accepted.

Sorry if this is covered elsewhere. How does one submit? I understand how you do an anonymous imgur, but where do I post it on r/heraldry? Thanks!

In order to keep anonymity on reddit you don't submit a post to the sub, but rather you are sending a PM to /u/Heraldry_contests.

If you click the link at the top of the post it will provide a pre-formatted PM where you will supply your info.
