The Character Design Competition is organized by Mobius Academy and is open to creators in Malaysia who are 16 years old or older. The submission period for this competition is from December 10, 2023 to March 10, 2024 at 11:59PM.
Feel free to express your unique style, as there are no limits in the number of character entries you can submit, so come and let your creativity run wild!
The theme of this competition is < 燃 RESURGENCE >. “燃” is the Chinese character that means to burn but it signifies more than just burning, it represents ignition, where “Resurgence” refers to revival and renewal, expressing the act of rising and coming back.
This competition isn't just about reigniting the passion of creatives; it's about setting off a prairie fire of artistic momentum that sweeps across the nation, embodying the determination and resilience of our generation today. Through this competition, we anticipate the resurgence of spirit among local creatives, culminating in influential characters and designs that will make a lasting impact on our generation.
Let this be a beacon, reviving the flames of illustration and providing a boundless platform for artistic exploration.
