Year of the Fire Horse

Chinese New Year begins on February 17, 2026, and this marks the Year of the Horse in the Chinese zodiac, paired with the fire element for bold, energetic visuals.

Examples of on-theme creations could include:

• powerful horses surrounded by flames, sparks, or glowing light
• Chinese New Year–inspired scenes featuring the horse zodiac
• traditional or modern interpretations of the fire element with horses
• festive compositions using reds, golds, and dynamic motion

When creating your art, consider the following criteria:

• Creativity: Does your take on the theme feel original?
• Visual Impact: Is the image eye-catching and well put together?
• Relevance to Theme: Is the theme clear without needing explanation?
• Technical Skill: Does the entry show strong use of prompts and tools?
