Liliha Public Library - Anime Art Contest!
For you local peeps in grades 6-12, Liliha Public Library is hosting an Anime Art Contest from December 1st to 30th.
The event is sponsored by the Liliha Public Library and Sakura of America (yes, the pen brand!) I shall quote Jason Yadao of the Star-Advertiser's anime/manga column, "Cel Shaded" for the rules & regulations:
"The assignment: Draw something related to anime, manga or video games. Fan art of existing characters or works featuring original characters will be accepted. (Don't copy or trace existing artwork, though; that's so cheesy.) Keep it family-friendly, too, as any pieces depicting violence, nudity, drug and alcohol use or smoking will be disqualified.While entries can be hand-drawn or created digitally, they must be submitted on white, unlined 8 1/2-by-11-inch paper or [...larger]. Each artist can submit up to 10 entries, so by all means have some fun.
Judges will rate each piece on adherence to anime/manga style, creativity and originality, technical ability, quality of composition and design and overall impression. The winners, to be announced in early January, will have their work displayed at the library through the month and receive Manga-Comic Pro Sketching and Inking sets and Comic and Manga Artist Trading Cards. The grand-prize winner also will receive Copic markers."
Pieces must be delivered to the Liliha Public Library, 1515 Liliha Street!
Questions or concerns, please contact librarian Linda Mediati at 587-7577.
(Personal note: I'd just like to say that I personally think that entering just for the chance of winning those Copic markers is incentive enough. :3 Those guys are about $6 each. D: Too bad I'm too old to participate. T_T;;)
So for all you kids soon to be on Winter Break, GET CRACKIN'! :D
Just outta curiosity, is this content for people in your area only? Or can others -- from, say, the mainland -- enter?
Just wondering, as I am A) too old and B) have no art talent...
I think it might be for the people within the state, but I don't really know and I could always be wrong! But if you're out of highschool, you can't participate… like me orz
From what I understand, it's for local students -- I think you need to drop them off at the library and sign some paperwork with the librarian/staff?
Not sure about older peeps? I can ask the librarian if older kids can just submit their art to be on display at the library with the other entries? They just may not be eligible for the prizes.
I live on Kauai so you mean I can't enter?
Not sure about outer-island entries, although I'm sort of doubtful that they'd be eligible as you'd need to drop off and pick up your art from the library. ^_^;;
I'll send it on flickr. I'll do it on my computer, FYI,my birthdays coming on Christmas Eve! :)
I think I'll enter this! ^o^
I'll enter this thing also!!!
Awesome!! >:D
Is it also okay if we draw NemuNemu also? >.>
