WCO Art Show!

You walk into a small burrow, holding a letter in your hands. You've been invited here, but you don't know why. The hole widens out, and wood appears on the walls. You suddenly come into a wide open space, with carpets, bean bags, and most importantly, many messy stacks of drawings and papers on art desks. Somebody is drawing away at one of them, a tall, thin, black cat wearing a green bandanna. The cat turns, and their blue eyes pierce you, startled, before they soften and the cat seems to pop into a small, human-ish character.
Hello! The person says cheerfully, knocking papers off the desk. They turn around and sigh before turning back to your group. My name is Clam, and you've been brought here because you're the most talented artists I know! I'm running an art contest, and every week, a new topic will be sent out to you!
You look at each other, puzzled. What does this, frankly tiny person mean? You ask where the thin, black cat went, and Clam laughs.
I was the cat, silly! I can shapeshift. I'm usually in this form though. He gestures towards himself, before handing everyone another letter. Why don't you open those letters now?
You all sit down on bean bags (Clam has to grab more from a closet in the back to fit everyone) and you open your notes. They're written in very sloppy handwriting, probably Clam's, and some letters are hard to read, but you try anyways.
Hello everyone! As you know by now, my name is Clam. I'm a shapeshifter, and I've invited you all to an art contest! There will be multiple rounds, and you'll have 1 week to complete the artwork! Then, people will vote for a week, and I'll choose the amount of people to move on. Each prompt will be sent out here, so if you want to join in, simply tell me!
When you look up, Clam has vanished, his place taken by the thin, black cat yet again. He points with his tail towards the exit, seemingly saying to leave so he can get on with whatever he does all day.

So, how this works, if it wasn't clear.
I'm hosting an art contest, where every week, I'll post a new topic here where you'll complete it and PM it to me so I can mark you down as done for that topic! To join in, just say, I accept the offer! After everyone has PMed me their art, I'll start up a poll and have people vote on it, and 30% of the contestants will be removed each time, until the last 10, where only 1 will be eliminated at a time. I will not be using any art for my own purposes, and will ask permission if I do want to! I need some prize givers as well because I'm saving up for a ton of purrks and I cant decide which to get first, so I'm collecting like 10 million kk and suffering. Anyways, enjoy!
