The Pok\u00e9mon Company International and Nintendo have announced a new contest for Pok\u00e9mon fans. The companies are inviting Pok\u00e9mon fans and budding illustrators to enter an international Pok\u00e9mon Art Academy Competition using the Pok\u00e9mon Art Academy game. The game is of course available exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS.<\/p>\n

The competition opens on Wednesday and closes on March 29th, with winners being announced in May. <\/p>\n

Entries for the competition are being be accepted via Miiverse, through the Nintendo 3DS. The winning entries will have their artistic creation turned into their very own Pok\u00e9mon trading card game card.<\/p>\n

There will be six winners selected by a panel of judges comprised of some of the creators of the Pok\u00e9mon universe. Each winner will receive a whopping 100 cards featuring his or her winning image. <\/p>\n

There are two categories for Pok\u00e9mon artists to enter: Dress-Up Pikachu<\/em> and Your Favorite Pok\u00e9mon<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Dress-Up Pikachu<\/h3>\n

Inspired by the special Cosplay Pikachu, which can be discovered in the recently launched Pok\u00e9mon Omega Ruby<\/em> and Pok\u00e9mon Alpha Sapphire<\/em> video games, this category gives entrants the chance to “play fashion designer” and create their very own Pikachu outfit!<\/p>\n

Your Favorite Pok\u00e9mon<\/h3>\n

This category gives entrants the chance to submit their own artistic impressions of a favorite Pok\u00e9mon, which they can do using the Free Paint mode of Pok\u00e9mon Art Academy. So, if Snorlax awakens an inner Leonardo da Vinci, or Rayquaza gets fans painting with flying colors, then this is their perfect category!<\/p>\n

Full rules for the contest are available at Pokemon.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

One thing that is a bit of a downer to the contest though is that the winners\u2019 cards will not<\/em> be made available for sale in regular Pok\u00e9mon trading card game products nor will they be eligible to take part in Play! Pok\u00e9mon officially sanctioned organized play events. So while the prize is definitely cool, no one but the winning artist will be able to get any of the cards.<\/p>\n

It’s a shame as having your card potentially be available to the millions of fans of the game would have been an even greater prize.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
