(Borrowing one of Mac's works for illustrative purposes! Hope you don't mind!)

On 15th August 2026, four years after Sidney Roebuck got her wish and two years after the opening of the first Sidney's in the US, the first branch of Sidney's Family Restaurant in the UK will open in the city of Birmingham!

Four years ago I ran a fan-art competition with Sidney herself as the subject so I'd like to do something similar again!

This time I am inviting creators to post an image, short story, comic or anything else they can come up with relating to the Sidney's UK opening night. It can feature guests, the meat, the entertainment, the Sidney's lookalike hired to welcome guests, really anything at all as long as it's "on topic". For a reminder, here is a news report about the occasion, which also happens to be the first Sidneyverse story I ever published!

The competition will close at the end of August 14th with the winner announced on 15th, what would have been Sidney's "Sweet Sixteen".

The winner will get a custom story by me starring them or their OC either as diner or meal, catered by "Fantasy Feasts" and based around the public domain story of their choice!

Can't wait to see what you all come up with! :D
