■Grand Prize


Artist: 해어리

▼Judge’s comment
The warm colors give this work a nostalgic feeling and convey a sense of fun. Are those little characters drawn around them fairies? It’s so cute that they look like they’re listening in on the humans’ conversations.  (Celsys)

■Runner-up Prize 


Artist: Lucia Calvente Suarez

▼Judge’s comment
We were really drawn in by how you drew the character's facial expressions, giving each of them a sense of individuality. It was great how you captured the close feeling of friendships in a fantasy setting with witches and wizards. (Celsys)
