We have sent out our first batch of emails, and will be sending out more over the next few days! Make sure to keep an eye on your inbox (and check your spam folder just in case) in the meantime.
As a reminder, everyone who applied will be receiving an email notifying them of whether or not they have been accepted into the event, and we will make a post letting everyone know once we have sent out all emails.
Thank you to everyone who applied, and we hope to see you soon!
b/c junk email is a thing, what's the name of the email that will be sent? So we make sure we don't miss it?
Our application notice emails start off with "2026 Sonic Big Bang" and are followed by information related to the role you applied for, such as "Artist Acceptance Notice" or "Writer Acceptance Notice".
As a reminder, please be sure to check your spam folder in case your email was sent there.
What's the order you're sending the emails in? I know it's artists-betas-writers, but apart from that is there an order, like alphabetical or by the submission time?
Not me trying to figure out when my email will arrive mdjdjdjdj
By submission time. The earlier you submitted your application, the earlier you'll be invited.

Will you also be reaching out to the people who didn't make the cut just so they know? Or will there be a post of some sort once you've finished contacting the people who made the cut?
Everyone who applied will receive an email letting them know whether or not they have been accepted into the event. We will also be making a post once all emails have been sent out, so if for some reason an applicant hasn't received an email, they can let us know and we can sort that out.

Reminder: There are just under TWO WEEKS until Sign-Ups close!
Probably a silly question, but is it possible for one's summary to get rejected/disqualified (for lack of a better term) due to something like the pairing being either too popular (i.e., too many Sonadow 'fics; I believe something like that happened for the previous Big Bang, but I could be mistaken), or way too niche (involving characters most probably won't know, such as those from games like Tails' Adventure or Sonic Rush Adventure)?
We won't reject a summary because of its contents being too popular or too niche. We will only reject a summary if it violates our content guidelines, outlined in the Masterguide. Also, to clarify, no such restrictions have been utilized in previous Big Bangs, either.
