All residents of Wacom Asia Pacific countries (does not include China, Hong Kong or Japan) are invited to enter the Wacom Anime/Manga Character Design Contest. Characters may be human, animal, plant, alien, robot, elf, dwarf, divinity or Other, but must abide by the contest and submission rules of the Wacom Community. In particular, character designs may not contain any nudity, adult situations, violence or other obscenities, and must be ORIGINAL. Submissions of fan art or other copyrighted images or characters will not be considered. Wacom reserves the right to reject, remove, and/or disqualify entries at its discretion.

Wacom encourages entrants to include a description of their characters in English, Chinese, Korean or Thai. These descriptions will help us to understand the characters and their stories, but final judging will be based upon originality and artistic merit of the character design itself. Visit the site for details.
