Global Fanart Contest Winners Announcement

Greetings from Team Tapas!

We successfully wrapped up the Global Fanart Contest on October 7th! Far more people participated than we anticipated, and we were truly moved to see how much love Garden of Witches has received. We sincerely thank you for all of your love and support, and we will continue striving to return your kindness with an even more enjoyable game.

Below is a brief summary of how our Global Fanart Contest turned out.

• Held for a total of 30 days (September 8 – October 7)

• 57 artists participated, each with their own art styles including digital painting, hand painting, 3D art, and pixel art

• 10 winners selected in total, including 5 special awards additionally chosen based on participation volume

We would never dare to judge your wonderful works of art as either good or bad. They were all amazing, so we selected the winning pieces as fairly and carefully as possible. Every submission was filled with passion and love, which made it very difficult for us to decide the winners. Even for those that were regrettably not selected, we know how much passion and love you put into your artwork. Should we have another opportunity like this in the future, we will do our best to prepare even better so that we can reward more participants.

Once again, we sincerely thank you for your support and participation in our fanart contest and for the love you have shown for Garden of Witches.
