Art Academy Drawing Contest Now Open to Europe & AU/NZ

[Crossroads Bulletin]

In an email to Club Nintendo members yesterday, Nintendo Australia revealed that an Art Academy competition like the one previously announced for the US is now available to residents of Europe, Australia and New Zealand. The contest involves drawing artwork in the Free Paint mode of Pokemon Art Academy and submitting it via Miiverse. Two themes are available, ‘Pikachu Dress Up’ and ‘Your Favourite Pokemon’.
Entries will be judged on skill, artistic expression, originality and creativity. A shortlist of 50 entries will be presented to TCG illustrators, who will select 3 winners. The winning artwork will be made into special edition TCG cards and each winner will receive 100 of their own cards. These cards can not be used in competitions.
Previous drawing contests held in Japan have yielded some of the most expensive Pokemon TCG cards on record, due to their limited release and availability. It will be interesting to see how much these new cards may fetch, if any winner is willing to sell them, as there are sure to be collectors interested.
Entries must be submitted by March 29th, and winners will be picked during April. For more details, visit the official announcement.

Aw, thanks, Sarah! I don't have Art Academy though. :c I've only fiddled with it on the day of Nationals at the 2DS systems they had there. xD

I do quite like the idea of a competition though. It's a nice way to get people involved. Also I've rarely touched Miiverse before so maybe it's also a smart step towards making that more popular.

Aww okay. I don't have it either haha. I also have no idea what Miiverse does. xD

Ahahaha, same! I went on it like once but it was like a giant facebook news feed and things would last for about three seconds and then be lost forever in a sea of everything else. So I never went back. XD
