Everything that you need to know on how to volunteer for a (Summer) Secret Santa event. Please read on.



1. What is a volunteer (replacement) artist?

Basically, it is someone who agrees to replace an original participant who either (A) failed to deliver their gift drawing by the deadline or (B) dropped out from the event (either voluntary or automatically). The replacement artist will have the opportunity to step in and take over the wishlist of a participant who has been left giftless.

2. Do you have to be a member to volunteer?

It all depends whatever or not the artist agrees to sign-up for this group or not.

3. How much time does a replacement artist have to complete their gift?

If you agree to accept the job to volunteer for a giftless participant, you will be notified and assigned to do the gift drawing along with the link to their wishlist.

After the gift extension deadline has passed, you will be given up to two weeks (through the third Sunday in February or August) to complete the drawing for the giftless participant. When the replacement gift deadline has passed, the event will conclude and any replacement gift submissions that have not been completed will be lost.

4. How many replacement artists are we looking for?

It all depends on how many original participants have failed to complete the gift drawing or dropped out from the event. We want as many receiving participants as possible to be happy that they received the gift drawing that they wanted.

5. How do you pick which replacement artists are needed?

Replacement artists are selected based on how many replacement spots for a humanoid, mixed or anthro artwork is available.

6. Lastly, what happens to the original participant who was assigned to their receiver?

If the original artist failed to complete their gift drawing, they will be blacklisted from participating for up to one year. It will all depend if the original artist decides if they want to come back and participate in the group again or not.

If the original participant dropped out (voluntary or automatically), they will be told to miss out on the upcoming event and will be spared from a ban. If it is necessary, you will be welcome to participate again if you are redeemed as a volunteer to replace the original artist who has left their receiving participant giftless.

If the original participant was automatically dropped from the event and if the event fails to meet the 95% goal, an replacement participant will be called up to do a set of mini-gifts. More information about mini-gifts can be found in #23 and #24 of the FAQ page.
