Can you draw well? Do you want your drawing to be seen by the world? Here is your chance!
AnimeBlogger.net is looking for a mascot to represent our growing anime community. AnimeBlogger.net or AB.net in short, has been set up for two years devoid of a mascot that will represent us. Hence, we require talented artists to draw an original anime style character that we can use on our websites as well as for future AB.net merchandise.
The winning design will be awarded $30 USD, or a gift certificate for the same amount at the website of their choice. The winner will also have future opportunities to draw different variations of the mascot as AB.net develops merchandise and earn additional money from it. Additionally, the first and second runners up will win $10 USD and $5 USD respectively.
The following criteria are what we're looking for in the mascot:
- A cute, young adolescent female character.
- Neutral hair color (brown, black, blond).
- Their outfit should include the letters AB on it visibly using Georgia as the font, with weight bold. (Georgia may be downloaded here if you need it.)
- Digitally colored.
Submissions must meet the following technical requirements:
- Minimum 300dpi
- Canvas size minimum 12"x12" (3600px x 3600px at 300dpi)
- PNG format
The winner will need to submit their design in Photoshop PSD format after being notified that they've won prior to the winners being announced publicly.

wonderful entries and wish you luck!
FAQs
I've received a few questions so far that others may also like to know the answers too so I'm adding them here. I'll also add any future questions I receive.
- How many entries per contestant?
- You may enter as many times as you like. Please send each entry in a separate E-mail.
- The AB.net logo is said to be required on the outfit. But can it be on items if the pose of the mascot is in any way obstructing the outfit? As long as it is shown clearly?
- The idea was for the AB.net logo to show clearly on the mascot so this would be perfectly acceptable.
- The contest specifies Photoshop PSD format, are any other file formats acceptable?
- I have access to Corel Photo Paint as well as Photoshop, and will accept any format that I can open in either of these programs that meet the size and DPI specifications and include all the layers intact. If in doubt contact me (you may use the contest submission address) to ask.
