The theme changes every Monday, stickied in the Dragon Share forum, and the new theme is typically announced in our [b][url=http://www1.flightrising.com/]Site Status[/url][/b] box on the front page. This week's theme is [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/drs/2183523]familiar matchmaking![/url] [br] [b][size=4]Is it a contest? Are there prizes?[/size][/b] To put it simply, no. Theme Week is designed to be a low-pressure event for players to show off their dragons with other like-minded players. We do have a spotlight for each week, announced in the companion discussion thread for the current theme. Spotlights are random. As long as the shared dragons fit the theme and don't exceed that week's maximum number of dragons, a player is eligible for the spotlight!
