Unpack your pens, brushes and digital drawing tools and be ready for a creative journey! In cooperation with our sponsor AnimeFanShop.de, we are pleased to announce the 2023 drawing competition at Anime Messe Babelsberg. This year it's all about "Matsuri" - the Japanese folk festival.

The task is simple but exciting: Draw our lovable mascot Manami as she dresses at a Matsuri or celebrates there happily. Whether she's wearing traditional festival attire, participating in exciting games or enjoying delicious street snacks - there's no limit to your creativity!

You don't need to be at the Anime Messe in person to take part. Simply use our online form to submit your masterpieces by 14 July 2023. Also, don't hesitate to share your work on social media with the hashtag #AMB23DrawingContest.

Of course, there is also something to win! Our jury will choose the best three drawings and reward the winners with shopping vouchers for AnimeFanShop.de:

1st place will receive a 150 Euro voucher,

2nd place a 100 Euro voucher and

3rd place a 50 Euro voucher.

The winners will be announced during the opening ceremony and will also be published online on our website after the Anime Messe. So be ready, let your creativity flow and put the spirit of the Matsuri on paper!
