Clip Studio Paint developers CELSYS have opened their 40th International Illustration contest with theme "Colourful". Artists can post their work on Instagram, X or Facebook by July 17th with the hashtag #cspcontest40.
The main prize is $2,000 and a three-year license for the Clip Studio Pain EX app. The runner up will win $500 and the same three year license.
Participants can also join a lottery award for a one-year Clip Studio Paint Pro by posting timelapse videos of their illustration. Fist time entrants can also enter a lottery to win a Clip Studio Tabmate 2, to encourage entrants of all abilities.
The previous competition saw 3,375 entries and CELSYS are hoping to beat that record with this latest competition.
