Hey there everyone, DeepRising here with the Weekly Newsletter and Weekly Topic competition.
We had a great response to last week's topic “Christmas 2025”, and a selection of our favorite winning entries are coming up.
But first, here's a reminder of an annual Sudomemo event
You'll all be excited to hear that Sudomemo Rewind is coming out on New Year's Eve.
A look back at the events and developments of Sudomemo over the past year, it features a top 50 countdown of the most popular Flipnotes, along with fascinating interviews with some of its leading creators.
It's posted as a video on our YouTube channel (Link below):

And is a must see for all Sudomemo enthusiasts.
Whatever you do, don't miss it!
Now a word about our ongoing fund raising activities.
Here at Sudomemo our fundraising activities reflect the quality of services we can provide.
We want to develop more educational content, as well as continued improvements and upgrades to our infrastructure.
With more funding we would be able to do more for the community and also ensure a healthier future for the site.
If you would like to make a donation then Sudomemo Patreon is the way to go! It will really help with the upkeep and running of Sudomemo, and there’s loads of special rewards to enjoy.

Well done to everyone who entered.
Both Santa and his sleigh are in serious trouble this year, when an assassin, hell bent on stealing Christmas, turns their sights upon him in this fiendishly festive MV by Slab.
Perhaps some kind of fur trimmed bullet-proof vest could be in order!
A Pokemon Christmas wish comes true in spectacular fashion in this fantastically animated Topic winning MV by D@ZeD.
Vibrant with strong action and smooth movement, it also includes a splendid use of color and shade in its rendering.
As the years go by, a grandfather stickman’s Christmas gifts to his grand children have an uncanny way of servicing him in this grinch-grump triumphant Topic winning Flipnote by ☆T3nzDⓇⒶw☆.
※Yul£$ten※ really raised our Christmas spirits with this wonderful Yuletide pixelated lightshow.
Beset with falling snowflakes, twinkling tree lights, and seasonal PC characters, it plays on loop to music recorded from a coca cola retro figurine.
A decorated tree meets a brutal and savage end at the claws of a resentful pussy cat in this hilariously expressive animation created by Blood wolf.
What is it about cats and Christmas trees?.......... The furry fellows just can’t stand them!
Scored with two songs for the price of one, and featuring a host of artistic Flipnote Easter Eggs, this Christmas gift MV by Caseoh was very warmly received.
Undo its red ribbons, and unwrap it as you watch.
Faith&Fire celebrates the joy of Christmas, and peace on earth in this uplifting, musical animation of the Nativity.
Made in a fabulously distinctive style, this sing-along animated Christmas MV by Kêithkash★ serenades us to the song “It’s the most wonderful time of year”.
And that concludes last week’s Topic winners.
Now onto this week's Topic description.
As we celebrate the start of a new year, we can look back at the Year just gone.
What was it that made the biggest impression on you in 2025?
Was it a world news event, a fashion or craze, your favorite media, product release, or popular pastime? And also of course, what’s been happening with Flipnotes on Sudomemo, including your favorite creations, characters, trends and/or personal posts.
Your Topic entries for the year just gone could be created in any way you like. Why not try a montage, a pictorial collection, or an MV to showcase your ideas and creativity.
Whatever you decide, celebrate and commemorate 2025 in style, and start a Topic entry today.
We really love the way you're all so creative with these topics and look forward to seeing the Flipnotes you create for them.
Make sure to post your entries to the Weekly Topic channel Weekly Topic - 2025 The Year Just Gone and the deadline for your entries is January the 4th (12pm EST / 4pm GMT).
We would also encourage you to add a description to your Flipnotes, to highlight any details you’d like us to feature in our winner reviews.
Tip: The frame you save your Flipnote on will become the thumbnail, so choose your favorite or add a title page!
Keep on Flipnoting and the best of luck with your entries.
