The Pokemon Company is giving three lucky people from each participating region to create the art for their very own Pokemon card! To enter this contest all you will need is a copy of Pokemon Art Academy for the 3DS and access to Miiverse as that is where you submit your entry. There are two themes within the contest, a cosplay Pikachu theme and a draw your favourite Pokemon theme. The contest does have a few rules and points you should be aware of before you get your Divinci on though.
The card will not be made a part of any official expansion or be able to used in any official tournaments. It is also not made clear if you get to also design the cards attacks or if it will feature standard card features such as type or evolution. Three winners in each category from each of the following countries will be announced, with each receiving a 100 copies of their created card; Australia, New Zealand, UK, Ireland, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, France, Luxembourg, Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands, and Russia.Only you first entry will be recognized so make it count.
The U.S.A, Canada and Mexico have slightly different rules which you can read up on at the official website. The contest is open from February 18th until midnight on the 29th of March. Full details on how to enter the contest are below so once you read up on them be sure to break out your brush (or stylus in this case) and get doodling! Good luck guys.
