The '''[[Westarctica Art Expo]]''' is an annual art showcase held that is open to any citizen of [[Westarctica]]. The expos are held online, with users digitally submitting a photograph of their work. The first of these expos was held in [[2018 Westarctica Art Expo|2018]].
The '''[[San Joaquin kit fox]]''' is the smallest member of the dog family in North America and one of several endangered species that lives within the borders of the [[Colony of Calsahara]]. In 1990, its population was estimated to be 7,000. This subspecies is still endangered, after nearly 50 years of being on the Endangered Species List. Today, much of the kit fox's remaining habitat is extremely fragmented, movement corridors are degraded or blocked, and only a few large areas of native grasslands remain on the San Joaquin Valley's perimeter in the [[Carrizo Plain]].


Submissions are accepted from any citizen of Westarctica. Restrictions on the mediums represented are generally very relaxed. As this is not a competition, there are no winners, per se. Instead exceptional work is recognized through one of three selection categories.


In 2018, the Citizen's Selection was chosen via a popular vote through the Citizens of Westarctica Facebook group. This honor was bestowed upon Esther Viola's piece titled "Portrait of Grand Duke Travis and an [[Adélie penguin|Adélie Penguin]]." This piece was used in a 2019 release of [[Stamps of Westarctica|Westarctican stamps]].

The San Joaquin kit fox is the smallest member of the dog family in North America and one of several endangered species that lives within the borders of the Colony of Calsahara. In 1990, its population was estimated to be 7,000. This subspecies is still endangered, after nearly 50 years of being on the Endangered Species List. Today, much of the kit fox's remaining habitat is extremely fragmented, movement corridors are degraded or blocked, and only a few large areas of native grasslands remain on the San Joaquin Valley's perimeter in the Carrizo Plain.
