Moé Passion 2nd Mascot Contest

It’s that time again. Time for another Moé Passion mascot contest. Originally, this second contest was going to be to bring Sakura’s second sister Nanami to life but I realized that my site really only needed one mascot. ^^;

This is a fan art contest of my mascot Sakura-chan. During my last contest, I had chosen Chun’s design as my canon image of Sakura. Please look at her design when determining how Sakura should look. You can, over course, illustrate her in your own style but please use her image as a reference.

2nd Mascot Contest Details
This contest is a bit different from my previous one. In the last one, I set out to find the ideal realization of how my Sakura should look. Now that I have a image of her (thanks again Chun!), I am now seeking more fanarts of my cute angel mascot Sakura-chan.

To enter my 2nd mascot contest, please submit one or more fanarts of Sakura-chan. Please illustrate her in different seasons and in different outfits. For example, Christmas theme, spring time (Sakura) theme, Valentine’s Day (blushing), Summer (swimsuit), Fall (Fall Leaves/Yukata) etc.

Entry Details
1.) At a minimum, for consideration in my 2nd contest, please submit one fully illustrated fanart of Sakura-chan. Please, like Chun’s image, create some sort of background for the fanart submission.
2.) Multiple fanarts are encouraged! Please show Sakura in different outfits and during different times of the year.
3.) For an idea of Sakura-chan’s personality please check out the mascot page.

Preferences
1.) My site is called Moé Passion, so naturally I prefer to see Sakura drawn in a cute, moé, bishoujo game style. Slightly sexy is okay, just please keep it safe for work. ^^;
Note: I will except styles other then moé as well…..
2.) Please illustrate Sakura with different expressions and in different outfits to accompany the particular time of the year.
3.) Please don’t draw Sakura too busty. She is only 12 years old. Some developing breasts are okay just please don’t go overboard. See Chun’s illustration.
4.) I encourage multiple fanart submissions by the same person. As such, I will keep this contest running much longer then my previous one. You have some time (several weeks at least).

More entries may help towards getting the first place prize, but not necessarily. Art quality will also be taken into consideration.
5.) I dropped the banner making requirement from the contest to encourage more entries. The focus is only on fanart this time. I will make the website banners.

Prizes
First Place Prize: $100 via paypal (if at least three or more fanarts submitted by 1st place winner then $150)
Second Place Prize: $75 via paypal (if at least three or more fanarts submitted by 2nd place winner then $100)
Third Place Prize: $50 via paypal (if at least two or more fanarts submitted by 3rd place winner then $75)
Originally, I was going to make figures as prizes but I figure you guys could chose what figures you want with your prize money. :D

During the last contest, as promised, I delivered on the prizes. I am trustworthy and a man of my word.

Rules and Legal Stuff
1.) You must have a paypal account to participate. Please give a valid paypal address with your submissions.
2.) I will not post any submitted images on my site until the contest has concluded.
3.) All illustrations submitted to my contest become the “property” of Moé Passion and can be posted on my site as long as credit is given. Even if you are not a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place winner. You can, of course, post your entries on your blogs, even before the contest has concluded.
4.) Please no hard feelings if your entries do not place in the top three.
5.) I am impartial and will judge on art quality alone. I don’t pick favorites just by who submitted them.
6.) Please post and advertise this contest around to fellow artists. My last contest only saw three participants. I hope to have many more this time. It’s just more fun that way. :D

That’s all. Please have fun and thank you for bringing my cute Sakura-chan to life. Good luck!
