Comment from the winner: When I hear the word "summer", it usually brings back my childhood memories when my friends and I played in the rice field. Therefore, I wanted to depict the environment that I missed a lot, where the fireflies were easily found. It's a great honor for me to receive this prize. Thank you very much.
The winner of the Grand Prize receives US$2,000 and a three-year license for illustration, comic, webtoon, and animation app Clip Studio Paint EX. There were also many entries in the DTIYS and coloring categories. For the coloring category, 10 winners were selected by lottery and will receive a copy of Cosmic Spectrum’s artbook “Prism: The Art Journey of Cosmic Spectrum.”
Celsys, the developer and distributor of the illustration, comic, webtoon, and animation app Clip Studio Paint, regularly holds illustration contests open worldwide, and will continue to offer more opportunities for creators to showcase their talents.

▼Judge’s comment
This artwork’s background and details were drawn with such care, and the summer sunset is beautiful. The contrast between the city in the back and nature in the foreground was well expressed, leaving a lasting impression.

The summer heat was palpable in this illustration. The fruit looked so delicious in the hot weather that we wanted to join them.
