Q: I missed the opening registration! Can I still join?
But of course! Anyone can join in at any time. However, those who do will not be able to win the grand prize!
Q: I don’t have a Twitter/Facebook/etc., can I still join?
Yes! Anyone from anywhere can join! Even if you’re from pixiv or instagram or nowhere at all! Our registration and submissions go through Google Forms, and require no sign-ins. But be sure to follow us for updates!
Q: My art is not good enough. Do I still have a shot?
Definitely. We’re not judging based on technique or skill but rather effort, creativity, and overall improvement, so if you work hard, you definitely have a shot!
Q: Can I join/quit in the middle of a round?
Yes, anyone can join at any time. However, you may not participate in a round if you signed up during it. Sign-ups for a round will last up until the beginning of that round.
Q: Wait, does this mean that I have to re-register for every round?
Nope! One registration lasts you until the end of the competition, or until you choose to drop out.
Q: I joined after a round! Can I be placed in a division?
Sorry, division placement is reserved only for those who see the entire competition through. Don’t worry, you’re not missing much.
Q: How do I watermark something?
There are many different ways, but there’s also this nifty online watermarking site that does it pretty nicely! For more options, ask a staff artist for help.
Q: Can I submit a collaboration with other participants?
Sorry, only solo works allowed. Otherwise judging would get really difficult!
Q: When I registered*, I was asked what areas I wanted to improve on. Can I change that later?
Unfortunately, no. Learning to finish what you start is also important!
Q: Is there a grace period per round?
No. The purpose is to improve yourself, and that means meeting deadlines too! No extensions, no exceptions.
