UESP Forums

These monthly competitions are a chance for you to demonstrate your creativity and talents while getting a chance to know your fellow members and have a little fun. Each month is going to have a different theme and a different talent – and maybe a surprise or two! But only one member can wear the purple coins and fancy title of CotM Winner! Do you have what it takes?

The basic rules are as follows:


Ah, December. The most festive month of the year, am I right? Holiday parties, eggnog, tiny peppermints, yummy food...etc.

Your challenge this month is to design a medieval style chalice, tankard, or horn vessel. Also include what material it's made from (like a leather vessel, for example). For bonus UESPoints, please pair your design with a drink like mead or wine from the TES universe. Your design can be a drawing or created in whatever form works for you. Happy Holidays!


Our schedule for the December event is as follows:
[DATE RANGE]: December 7 - 27: Competition begins! Start planning and send in those submissions!
[DATE RANGE]: December 28-31: Voting period – vote for your favorites!
[DATE]: January 1: Our winner is announced!
Please note that all times are determined by me, Dohva, and therefore will run according to Alaska Standard Time. ()

Remember that the CotM is not possible without you, so please participate, contribute, discuss, and vote!

As an aside, if anyone would like to join the street team to help plan and set up the CotM, please send me a PM Until then, have fun and good luck!

(This fun event is hosted by yours truly. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them within this thread or by sending me a PM by selecting the appropriate button below my signature. Have some suggestions on what you'd like to see? )

Well done, Deandra!
Your chalice is lovely! I found it really difficult to pick who to vote for this month.
I really like the intertwined people detail on yours, all_freed, it's very original and ornate.

Thanks Aarah, yea it was fun. And of course thanks to those that hosted the comp, thank you to those that participated (it's not a competition if there are any competittors), and thank you very much to those that voted because the poll wouldn't work if there are no votes (Yahoo!!!! i got 2 votes! it means a lot to me guys).

Congratulations to Deandra for winning December's COTM! It's a lovely drawing.

Thank you to Dov and all_freed for participating. Happy New Year's!

Congrats Dean!

P.S. keep those coins warm as i'm coming for them! Again.


I will admit, i did think i wouldn't be included in the votes due to my misunderstanding of it and well, having no software apart from Paint that gives me something to draw. Gimp, i should look into it to see if my laptop likes it or not.

Yay! Thanks

Sheo, you may not have had a good drawing program, but your story was pretty epic
