This year’s loading bar is approximately ten twelfths complete, so it’s time once again for the traditional teletext community Advent calendar!
This will be our fifth consecutive annual festive project with Finland’s Yle Text, who continue to champion teletext art into 2025 and beyond.
Note: Apologies for the fact that we haven’t yet uploaded last year’s Advent calendar artworks to Demozoo.com, but this is something on the agenda for the future.
Happy teletexting!
Guidelines
1. Your entry can be anything seasonal! See some of our previous Advent calendars for inspiration. Your art can be as strongly or vaguely linked to Christmas as you wish.
2. We will accept these formats:
3. You can also enter as many artworks as you like, but bear in mind that we are aiming for one artwork per artist per day. Extra artworks may be shown at the service’s discretion.
4. Be aware that when pages are broadcast on teletext services, the page header (row 0) and fastext labels (row 24) are overwritten, so try not to use them in your art. Here‘s a diagram of where you can find these.
5. Level 1/1.5 Teletext only for this project – Yle does not support Level 2.5 (the one with the extra colours and shapes), however you can use black as a foreground colour (graphics or text) if you like.
6. No copyrighted characters, please!
If you have a question about anything at all, I’ll be happy to help.
Deadline: 5pm UK time, 26th November 2025
