Fan Art Contest Entries for DigiKumo 2020

Rules

• Entries must be traditional art (drawings, painting, digital art, collage, and sculpture); no photo manipulation or photography. Scans, photos of traditional art, and digital submissions will be accepted online.
• Works either need to be of anime/manga style or works based upon anime, manga, or Asian culture/pop culture.
• Original characters are allowed, but must be drawn in a manga/anime style.
• The person submitting the piece must be the person who created the piece. No tracing or recoloring of another person's art.
• All work should be original. If references are used, it should be obvious that the piece as a whole has been transformed and is not a direct copy of other photos or artwork.
• Please indicate whether or not your work contains nudity or profanity.
• Entries previously entered in any Kumoricon Fan Art Contests are not eligible.
• Only completed works are allowed to be entered. Sketches are allowed as long as they are refined.

*Please see the Judge's Challenge section below for criteria on this year's entries.

Judge's Challenge

Want an additional challenge, or just don't know what to draw? The judges have created a new category just for you! This category is optional, and can be completed either on its own or as an additional entry into the contest. Entries for this category must be in color, with a background (no characters floating in a white void).

This year's challenge: Draw your favorite anime or manga villain in chibi style using the theme "Something Evil This Way Comes".

Submission

• All entries, either online or in-person, must be received by 11:59pm on Friday, November 11.
• Hard copies will be accepted at the convention at the Programming Office. The best care will be taken of your art, but Kumoricon is not responsible if damage or loss happens while judging.
• Entrants must be present at the Fan Art Contest Critique and Awards panel to win. The date, time, and room for this panel will be posted in the official event schedule once it is released. Winners will also be announced during Closing Ceremonies.
