DESIGN THE SUMMER COSTUMES FOR THE OFFICIAL SACANIME MASCOTS!

Our mascots need your fashion expertise! They need new costumes for the Summer convention season, but haven’t a thing to wear. That’s where you come in. Stretch those design muscles, and come up with new costumes for our male and female mascot duo. It’s like Project Runway… but not.

The finalists will be chosen by SacAnime attendees this January, and the costume designs that win will be turned into actual costumes by our super talented mascot cosplayers and for the Summer Show.

Please note that the costumes do not need to be “Summer” themed, (eg: swimwear) but since they will be primarily worn during the Summer, arctic fur and heavy coats probably won’t be among the finalists.

RULES

*The art you submit must be an original design created by you. No tracing or digitally modifying an existing design. It can be in whatever style art suits you, as long as it can fit the submission size criteria.
