The year 2026 arrives beneath blazing lanterns and a restless sky.
According to ancient tradition, the Fire Horse symbolizes passion, courage, renewal, and untamed momentum. It is a year of bold beginnings, decisive change, and stories born from flame—whether quiet and personal or wildly fantastical.

Across realms, cultures, and imaginations, the Lunar New Year is celebrated in countless ways. Some honor it with rituals and family traditions. Others transform it into legend—myths of fire spirits, celestial signs, or destiny turning on a single night.

This event invites creators to tell their own story of the Fire Horse.
