Namco Taiko Blog (July 9 2015) - 15th Anniversary/World Championship Illustration Contest

As with many release date-Thursday, we have the production crew of the game to each give... Uh, no? Vita1 does not have that? Okay then. Guess let's talk about this other thing that is also starting today:

Taiko no Tatsujin 15th Anniversary & World Championship Commemoration
Illustration Contest



True to the title of the contest, we are having this to celebrate the 15th Anniversary of Taiko no Tatsujin and the upcoming World Championship tournament in 2016. And also true to the title, the contest asks for drawings and illustrations on one of the following themes:
  • Something with the Taiko no Tatsujin universe(s?) and characters
  • Yay 15th Anniversary! Congrats da-don!
  • The exciting and fiery World Championship to determine the World No. 1
And who say you have to stick with only one? If you can combine two or even all three into one awesome work, then be their (and our) guest!

Now this contest is a big deal, and like many big deal contest out there it needs a set of official rules to keep things in order. Before you submit to contest make sure you read them all and agree to the terms! (NB. we will not be translating all of the text here, but if are going to participate and need help in reading up, feel free to contact us!)

The contest will run from today (July 9) until July 24. To submit, send a tweet to the official Taiko Team feed @taiko_team with the work attached. Technical specs includes a jpg or png file type, a file size under 5MB, in a square (about 30cm width, so that the resolution is good enough to show things clearly).

...and this contest will be limited to submissions within Japan only. Whoops. :( Maybe next time?
