Before diving into the details of this month’s theme, let’s take a moment to reflect on the [previous month’s contest themed around Fanart](https://ecency.com/hive-189641/@diyhub/first-2025-contest-fan-culture)!

## Review of the Previous Contest

_{Previous contest in the theme of Fanart}

In January, we introduced a new theme focused on fan culture, and we were thrilled to see so many diverse entries and read your passionate posts about your fandoms! We knew this theme might be a bit tricky to grasp or participate in, but in the end, we received 32 unique entries from our community. Your fandoms covered everything from football and coffee to anime and pop idols!

However, we noticed that many submissions didn’t quite follow the theme, which made us realize that our communication could have been clearer. It seems the concept was a bit too complex for our international community but we’ll learn from this and improve for the future!
