How’s about Isekai for writing?

Another idea: What’s about a book trailer but for your favorite manga and/or light novel? Something like this:

 

[Farfalla]

Ohhh Short Story: a oneshot manga script!

 

[Riku]

Ohhh Short Story: a oneshot manga script!

Love the idea! The writing contest character limit would make it roughly a 6-page comic! (Just to give less-experienced people the idea what can be done within the contest context, or even test out panel layouts on paper)

Also writing contest suggestion from me - a Log line for an animated film.

For a drawing contest, what’s about an optical illusion like Rubin vase?

A photography idea: use objects to describe yourself. For example, a sketchbook to show that you enjoy drawing or a basketball to show that you play (or like) the sport.

oh btw @revo I heard from Mala that you had an idea for the Spring contest?

oh btw @revo I heard from Mala that you had an idea for the Spring contest?

Oh yeah, something basic like drawing/photography of flowers (or maybe more general options?) since flowers are generally the symbol that represent Spring. ^^

Another idea I found on Facebook:

Maybe we can do that for a photography/craft contest? Use outdoor materials to make a design (it doesn’t have to be an animal per se).

A drawing contest idea: a family emblem

 

[Marmalade]

To keep up with the times: pandemic.
perhaps for a writing contest?

 

[Purity of Magi]

For a drawing contest what about a crossdressing anime? You know, like characters dressing as a different character or cosplaying or wearing a custome of a say different character or something like that? xD


Let's see if I get some inspiration to think of something else as well.

 

[Marmalade]

Umineko/Higurashi
Final Fantasy
Animal Crossing

For drawings - recreate your childhood drawings could be fun to try

 

[Purity of Magi]

Umineko/Higurashi

Sold.

[riki]

Photography idea: pareidolia

 

[Faust]

MangaHelpers logo as a cake editing contest. Maybe? lol

 

[Kiki]

going full emo, Farewell theme for poem/story

following this up
suggesting new category: Letter
with themes: Farewell, and A Letter for My Future Self

 

[Marmalade]

Brandish' post on his profile reminded me of this idea:

We did a cooking contest last year, perhaps we can do something similar again - but with foods/drinks from Anime or Games? (Like recreate a dish that a character eats)

 

[Farfalla]

Or create a cocktail as well

 

[Marmalade]

We have a video/music contest scheduled in a month or so, so in that category I am suggesting
slowmotion video. Phones often have this option to make these types of videos. Could be fun to play around with!
