【First Corporate-Sponsored UGC Contest!】Announcement of the upcoming UGC contest, featuring sponsorship from renowned companies and projects!

Thank you for always playing GensoKishi Online.

We are pleased to announce the holding of the first-ever company sponsored UGC contest!

In this UGC contest, we are seeking 3D model designs for one part of “Cosplay Equipment” that can be worn in GensoKishi Online.

We have received sponsorship from five companies, and each company has set up a total of nine awards.

Each award will be selected by the respective sponsoring company from the entries submitted during the application period.
Each award includes prizes, and we plan to tokenize the winning designs as NFTs, alond with featuring the sponsoring company’s logo on the NFT and thumbnail of the artwork.
(*The rarity of the winning Cosplay Equipment NFT for each award is rare, with no parameters-purely visual equipment)

If you’re thinking, “I want to apply but I don’t understand 3D”, there are convenient services available that can generate 3D models from illustrations or images using AI.
Please feel free to take on the challenge!!
