This is a secret gift exchange between our members, participating is easy! If you would like to join, sign up by filling up out the form with your intent to participate, along with your wish list! A wish list is a list of things you’d like your Secret Santa to choose from and draw for you. We will collect the name of the participants and randomize them to give everyone their own Secret Santa and fulfill your Christmas wish!
Secret Santas must draw a picture based on what they chose out of their giftee's wishlist. As this is a secret gift exchange, you must not show anyone the picture you’re drawing OR tell anyone who you’re drawing for! After sign-ups and randomization, we will open a submission period where everyone can post the pictures they drew for their giftees and all participants will receive something nice for the holidays!

Important Information
- This is a Shinnou-only Secret Santa! In making your wish list, please only request Shinnou-related characters and content.
- Participation in this SS will count as 1 event participation for your activity check!
- Make sure that you will have time to participate and draw a gift before you sign up. If you have signed up but something comes up, you must note the group.
- This event is for fun, but think of how unfair it will be to your giftee if you receive a gift but you don’t give them any.
- That being said, gifters who didn't submit their picture and bail will not be tolerated. Those who didn't participate properly this year will be banned from participating in the gift exchange next year.
- We understand that circumstances and emergencies may arise, but you must have good reasons as to why you couldn’t submit anything for the exchange. For the goodness of the holiday, please be honest and sincere and don't make up the excuses!
- If you wish to withdraw, please make sure to let us know by noting the group before sign-up ends.
- Please put effort into your gift. At minimum, your gift has to be:
- Either a normal waist-up OR a full body chibi.
- Finished art: the piece being shaded or not depends on your stylistic choice, but it must be in full color and be refined whether it be lined or painted.
- Have some sort of background, not a simple solid color or transparent BG.
- No bases/heavy referencing/copying/meme tracing, please!
How to Participate
- You must make a wish list first! You may put it in stash, dropbox, or any online storage service that you find fit.
- Wish lists must be Shinnou Academy related content only!
- List down what you’d like your secret santa to draw for you.
- You may request up to 2 characters to be drawn, but you must have a single character option for your gifter as well in case they can't fulfill your 2 characters wishes! Don't forget their references too!
- Feel free to request them in certain poses/scenarios or give the gifter an idea as to how your character is like! Please link the app/reference whenever you mention a character.
- Example:
- Hi! Drawing any of these would be great, thanks for doing this!
- My character, Arisa! http://fav.me/dbwtzjb
- Or Orion: http://fav.me/dbwsao5
- Orion and Charmeine together, if possible!: http://fav.me/dbwujki They’re twins and they’re very close, so any interaction with them would be nice! Maybe something like them spending winter together by the fireplace and hot cocoa? Up to you!
- Hi! Drawing any of these would be great, thanks for doing this!
- Example:
- Let us know if you have special requests through the sign up form! (If you don’t want to draw for a certain person/you don’t want a certain person to draw for you) We’ll do our best to keep this event stress-free for everyone!
- If you have a question for your giftee, ask the mods to relay it to them instead of hitting them up and ruining the surprise!
- After the sign-up deadline passes, we will send everyone a note with their assigned giftee.
- Work on your picture and make sure to submit it on or before the submission deadline, so we don’t have to chase after you for it!
- Submit your gift during the submission period.
