Overview

2026 Art Claims



Please note: the tables we use for art claims will not render well on phones in portrait mode. Please use landscape.


The link to the art claims form has been provided in the comment section below, but it will not be open for submissions until 4 PM UTC on 21 March 2026.

Send your top 3-5 choices in preference order. Please give the Story ID and Story Title to ensure we’ve matched you properly. Please see the tabs related to art in the the Participant Gateway and additional information can be found in your matchup email.

You’ll be contacted via the site comms system or email when the art matches are finished.

  • The only comment on this page is a link to the form you will need to fill out to submit art claims.
  • The form is closed to submissions until art claims officially begins.
  • You can load the form early, but it will not accept submissions until the start time of art claims.
  • If you open the form in your browser early, you’ll need to reload the page at the start time to see the input form. It will not refresh on its own.
  • Since it’s a form, anyone can claim on your behalf, but if there are questions or issues during the very short art claims window, we may need to know ahead of time who to reach out to.
Note: While we’d prefer people not speculate about who wrote what, we can’t police what happens elsewhere (and we’re not interested in being the internet police!). Any speculation on the QB site or on our Discord server will be deleted. Thank you.

Series

Please note: if you claim a series, you’re committing to provide one additional piece of cover art for the series itself in addition to art for each story in the series.

(I use a randomizer on the stories so they’re not in the order they are submitted. The randomizer legit put all the 9-1-1 series together.)
