This time the flag will be much smaller than last time so it actually gets completed, only 200 pixels wide instead of 300. The canvas this year is also 1/4 the size of last years, 500 x 500 instead of 1000 x 1000.

The template link that will show what needs to be drawn over the canvas is here. Make sure to lower template opacity by over 50% so you can see what is currently drawn.

Can we do something more fun than just a flag? On my last run at the place, we did Bluey, and Bluey was only just getting discovered internationally at the time.

I just think a canvas full of flags is a bit boring. It's been done plenty already.

we should make tony abbott eating an onion

I don't see why we can't do both. You can make a template for bluey, people can draw both.

That link doesn't take me anywhere useful, just to a countdown with links to other socials. But I just want to say I hope the template shows a 7-pointed Federation Star. When I saw the Australian flag on the Reddit version I kept trying to fix it but having my changes overwritten, because a bunch of people were determined to let the star have 8 points.

The link will work when the countdown is over. The template is the Australia flag according to Wikipedia.

I'll see if I can help. Last year was pretty hectic, let's see we actually finish the flag this time^^
