X-Day is a day of celebration for all fans of the Marvel X-Books. It was first celebrated on September 23, 1996 - the 33rd anniversary of the day that the first issue of The X-Men was published. Josh Wheeler had the idea to celebrate this historic occassion with a competition for all X-Fans in cyber-space. To celebrate this date and to show their appreciation for the X-Books, Josh asked all X-Fans to find a creative way of demonstrating their enjoyment of the X-Books to the general public. Then he requested that they submit it to him, so that it would be posted on the internet for all the world to see.	2002 submissions Submit your work! Submit FanArt! Vote Here! See the Winners!

The 1996 X-Day submissions came in the form of poems, fanfiction, fanart and websites devoted to the comic-cause. One person even submitted a catalogue of all his X-Comic books. Josh has been unable to host the X-Day festivities since 1996, but the X-Day spirit lives on in many of the people who enjoyed the first X-Day competition. Some of them decided to hold the second annual X-Day festivities, and the tradition has continued. Previous years' submissions can be viewed by clicking the links below. In 2001, there were three main categories for submissions for the X-Day competition - FanFiction & Poetry, Fanart and Websites. However, subcategories were added and changed to allow a fair competition for all. And non-competitive entries were accepted in every category. If you wish to compete in X-Day 2002, please take a few moments to read the details on how the contest has changed and to read the rules of submission. Submissions will be accepted beginning on August 16th.
