Live2D Creative Awards 2021

Contest Outline

Dear Creators

「Live2 D Creative Awards」is an annual contest in which the quality of the original work created using Live2D competes with each other.
The contest, which started in 2014, marks its eighth anniversary this year as it expands its size every year.

You can apply for any genre of work such as「Video」,「Moving Illustration」,or 「Game」, 「Character or Avatar」if you use Live2D.

In order to increase the opportunity for future Live2D creators to see the light of day, we have expanded the scope of the student award and increased the power of the contest.

Many of our past winners have made their career as professional Live2D creators. We are looking forward to seeing great works from around the world and witnessing the birth of this year’s world’s best Live2D creator.
