The SCP Foundation Wiki is known for the awesome stories, characters, and SCPs created by our wonderful authors. A more overlooked aspect of this community is the tons of fantastic artists that bring these creations to life. This contest is meant to promote these artists and give them a fun way to share their creations with the community.
Theme:
Design a Foundation Researcher: Make your own original character that works at one of the many Foundation facilities across the world.
Ever wanted to make an original character that fits into the SCP Universe and works at the Foundation, but never knew where to start? Here's your chance to make someone cool! Pick a workplace from the Foundation Facilities map or the Semi-Comprehensive List of Foundation Facilities and make an original character researcher that works there.
Consider the theme of the site and make a researcher that suits that location - a wildlife biologist would want to work at Site-18, for example, not Site-15. As long as the character is a researcher of some sort and fits the theme of site, all the other details are up to you!
Rules:
- All art must be 100% original content created by the contestant. (Any stolen/plagiarised/traced media will lead to immediate disqualification and the submitter will be blocked from the page.)
- No memes. There is a good possibility that we will hold a meme contest in the future, but this is not that.
- Each contestant may only enter 1 submission.
- Contestants caught trash-talking or being overly rude on theirs or other contestant's posts will be disqualified.
How to Enter:
- Pick a workplace from the Foundation Facilities map or the Semi-Comprehensive List of Foundation Facilities and make a researcher that fits the theme of that site.

You may include a maximum of one paragraph describing your character, the context in which they fit in the SCP universe, more about the location they work at or what they do there, and/or the events depicted in the piece.)
- From May 16th – May 21st each submission will be posted to the SCP Instagram account and the creator will be tagged. (To ensure fairness, entries will be posted in order of submission.)
