As a reminder, this year we’ll be doing something new which we decided to introduce at the end of 2023’s contest. This year we will also feature the announcement for “Judge’s Pick” at the end of the official contest.
This opportunity is presented to whoever has the most exemplified depiction for their category judged based on our original vision and intention for each category. They will be presented with the opportunity to create the artwork for the 1st Place Trophy in a style of their choice for the next sequential year. Not only does this ensure variety by introducing a different artist to do the 1st Place Trophy, but it also encourages a broader range of participation. So even in the chance your art doesn’t win 1st, 2nd, or maybe even 3rd for your submitted category, it means you still might have a chance to showcase your art in a different way.
We look forward to seeing this new year’s participation. And with the added introduction of the E4 Pokemon Fan Art and Crafts thread, we are excited to see what folks have to offer!
Get planning folks! And don’t forget to have fun with it!
