Smaller canvas, to make it feel less empty and encourage more communication across communities (or competition! >:] )
Like the others are saying, if more people are planning on participating we won't need a smaller canvas
Getting instances on board was initially very hard, but thanks to some community members posting it on other communities we were able to get this big

I'm guessing there'll be more people next time so it might not be needed
That's fair, if it's well-advertised by instance admins then it could have like 4x the contributor count.
I thought it was too big at first, but it meant everyone had a lot of space so turned out about right I think
To some extent, some people also painted more when they saw there was more space. I know I did. If the Canvas had filled up, I'd either have stopped or gotten involved in turf battles if they came up.
Canvas size, active participants, and total running time are all factors.
I liked the fact that there was enough room for everyone to get their initial designs down—once that’s out of their systems they can look around and have more spontaneous interaction. Maybe a bit more time would have allowed for more of that.
