Gackpoid 10th Anniversary Costume Contest Rules

EDIT (6/28/2018): Since the main point of interest here is the outfit you designed, it’s best that participants use a simple pose that allows us to see all important details. Think of a character reference sheet.

The participants must refrain from posting their entry in social media, online galleries and other websites before the unveiling of the winner on July 31st, 2018.



The entries must be submitted before July 25th, 2018 at the latest, 11:59 PM Pacific Daylight time.

The participants can submit as many entries as they please as long as they meet the necessary requirements.

The participants will keep all rights to their works and are free to make commercial and non-commercial use of their design after July 31st, 2018 regardless of whether their work is selected as the winner.

By submitting their work, participants agree to all non-commercial use of their work by the Gakucollab committee and associates, such as posting of the (properly credited) entry in the Gakucollab Twitter and Tumblr, creation of compilation video or pdf or other publicity uses. As a result, the participant must provide a name, nickname, social media username or ID to credit them for their work.

The entries must be submitted to our email in .png, .gif or .jpg formats, with a minimum size of 500x500 pixels. File size of submissions should not go over 100 MB. Entries can be in black & white or color. If text is included in the image, it must be in English or Spanish and fully legible. Digital and traditional art are acceptable; in the case of traditional art the image submitted must be clearly visible in all its detail. For this reason, we recommend participants scan their work instead of photographing it. However, photographs are acceptable if they are of sufficient quality. If you are unsure if your image is acceptable, please contact us through Tumblr or at gakucollab@protonmail.com

The entries must depict an original design newly created by the participant expressly for this contest. It is permissible to use the color scheme of the official Camui Gackpo design by Kentaro Miura, as well as taking cues from its general aesthetic. However, the design must not copy unofficial outfits created by other fans.

The winners will be announced on 8:00 AM July 31st, 2018 Japan Standard Time on the Gakucollab Tumblr and associated social media. All entries will be displayed on the Tumblr during the same day or on August 1st, 2018.

The prizes are as follows:

1st prize: (1) 50 dollars eGift card.

2nd prize: Japanese to English/Spanish translations of (2) songs or (1) short doujinshi of your choice (Doujinshi subject to approval from the staff, works with underage sex and guro won’t be accepted).

3rd prize: Japanese to English/Spanish translation of (1) song of your choice.
