Contest background
Indonesia, the world’s fourth most populous country with a notably young population, has seen rapid expansion in internet and social media usage. Its anime and manga fan culture is also thriving, leading to significant growth in its entertainment industries.
On pixiv alone, over 2.66 million illustrations have been submitted by Indonesian users to date, forming a highly passionate creator community.
This contest was born from the desire to create a shared space where fans and creators can come together to celebrate the 5th anniversary of hololive Indonesia-a VTuber group that has blossomed within its vibrant creative community.
A collaborative contest for creators and fans
The hololive Indonesia Art Battle will unfold in a collaborative format. As more illustrations are submitted and viewed, the entire community progresses through stages together. Both creators who draw fan art and fans who view and engage with the artwork are considered active participants, making this a truly communal celebration.
If all stages are cleared during the event period, all participants will receive an original wallpaper featuring the contest’s key visual and the digital art book “hololive Indonesia × pixiv FAN ARTBOOK” featuring selected entries from the contest!
