Kinokuniya Themed Art Competition

No longer are the Tradition and Digital competitions at war, but they are now co-existing happily in our mega-ultra-theme-combo-competition. SMASH! will provide three ‘themes’, and it’s your job to incorporate at least two, or even all three of them, into a single illustration for display! Entries for this contest must be physically brought in and handed to SMASH! Staff.

Theme

Using the following words as inspiration, include two or more as a visual element of the image or as the influential theme for your entry.

• At World’s End
• Propaganda
• Flowers

Prizes

Winners: Your share of $200 in vouchers, sponsored by Books Kinokuniya.
Special Mention: Copic set valued at $95, sponsored by Manga Arts.
