This time, we are putting together a wall calendar! And a wallpaper calendar! And in the spirit of #Bitcoin, we are doing it in a collaborative and open source manner.

The Creator Contest is a free-for-all contest for photographers & visual artists to submit their works to be featured in the Bitcoin Wall Calendar 2026 & the Bitcoin Wallpaper Calendar 2026. The calendar will feature photos and artwork from bitcoiners, quotes from Satoshi Nakamoto and is marked with the important dates in Bitcoin’s history and pre-history. The Satoshee company, its users as well as nostr users and sponsors of the contest can vote on which works will be featured in the calendar.

There will be 10 winners, each can choose a prize: either 12,000 sats via LN or a free copy of the physical calendar + 1000 sats. There will also be a raffle with small prizes (2x$50 USD Satoshee gift cards) given out randomly to those who participate in the voting process and/or share info about the contest on the web.

Want to have participate in voting for the winner, locking in your copy of the calendar or even getting a shout-out on it? ⚡ Zap this note on nostr and/or register for an account at SATOSH.EE

Anyone take a slot yet?

Yes, the wave.space guys from Lithuania took the first slot (I met them In Helsinki and been testing their services for the past week or so - they're building a great project for the EU plebs for sure) and just checking now, I see that Angor has grabbed the 2nd slot so that's a good start I'd say :)

Edit: BTW you can see how many slots are still available via the BTCPay POS app: https://btcpay0.voltageapp.io/apps/4VyqudZQ4XSHTMfUL9EXbLjbdZsg/pos

By the way you can keep track of the current calendar setup (the dates which will be marked, which sponsor gets which month, etc.) here

Feel free to make suggestions in terms of dates to add or anything else - like @Wumbo suggested to add a block height to the Satoshi quotes :)
