I have revived back our old biggest art community event of the year that used to happen in PSU.

but it doesn't happen, so we won't have SEGA of America as our usual main sponsor this year.
However, thanks to many kind heart sponsors that I could gather totally over 20,000 yen to fund in this event.
So this should cover the fund for shipment of good prizes to your home. +^_^+

Event theme : Thank you sponsors. Duration : 4 July to 18 August Activity : select one character from the sponsor list you like to draw and show your skill in how would you draw to imitate the character in the screen shot. This event wouldn't be possible without them, so I would like this part as thank you gift from artist toward sponsors.

Is there going to be any kind of category for people who don't have/can't use Photoshop, or can't draw? Seems like you're unintentionally limiting the number of people that can participate as it stands right now.
Seems like an interesting event.
Is there region specific for this contest?
So..can I show my Japanese friends about this contest, and can they participate?
@Olaf Sorry about that, but it is same every year here that this event is focus on Photoshop contest, and Artwork contest. This is the 3rd time I hosted this event, so we have new category as "portrait" this year. Because there are usually more in-game base event that only allow PSO2 players to join, and less event that focus on outside game like this one where old PS-fan who doesn't play PSO2 can enjoy it together with us.
@Sizustar Yes, you could show your Japanese or any country friends, I already told my Chinese friend to join this too. Only little issue is that they might have to make PSOW account to post here, sorry about that. (may be I will consider the case about using another person to post instead, but we will see about it)
@shinamori, if you can photoshop but can't draw, you can join the first category, and if you can draw but can't photoshop, you can join the 2nd or 3rd category. There is no need to always join all the 3 contest, although it is encourage since there are 2 bonus reward to add when all prizes is unlocked.
Note: 1 person could submit 1 piece per category only. Which mean: 1 photoshop, 1 artwork, 1 portrait.

Oooh, I may participate. But so many projects @~@. I kinda wish this was a year earlier I had the perfect subject for the artwork contest but used it for the PSA-Jam <o<. I like that you're considerate of people who don't play PSO2 and trying to get more people to forget about their skills and just do the thing. Always a plus in my book.
At the very least if I'm too busy to participate I'd like to spread the word via my tumblr if that's alright? I like to always to try and get more of the fandom to make more fanwork. and maybe Q can show this to the DA group, if not I can do it.
