Welcome to the annual Kao-coin drawing contest!

The contest is now finished! Winners will be announced and rewards delivered later this month.


Content period: 10/1-10/31
Open to
: all registered members of renshuu (the app, or renshuu.org)

As you probably know, all users on renshuu can collect kao-chan coins as they quiz! While many of them are done by our artist Saki, we've had a number of lovely submissions by learners in our community.

What to do:
1 - grab one of the blank templates below (1024x1024 in size) (You can also do the picture in real life and snap a photo of it!)
2 - draw any thing, person, animal, or idea that has our mascot kao-chan's face mixed into it.

NOTE: editing pre existing artwork is not allowed. This includes using AI generated artwork and sticking Kao's face in there.

3 - submit it as a reply to this thread (and include a suggested name for the coin in Japanese, if you'd like)

There is no theme - you can draw anything! New renditions of kao-coins that already exist on renshuu are welcome as well, so please do not worry about drawing something that already exists. Of course, you are welcome to do Halloween coins as well!
There is no limit to how many submissions can be made by one person.


What you can win!
We'll be choosing ten winners!
The #1-3 entries will receive both 6 months of renshuu pro.

The #4-6 entries will receive 4 months of renshuu pro.

The #7-10 entries will get 2 months of renshuu pro.

★ All participants will get some money for their Kao garden as well :)

Note: by submitting your images to this contest, you agree to have these images used in the kao-coin collection on renshuu (available free to all users, will never be sold), and may be used on renshuu's forums/discord to promote this contest or future ones.

We hope you join! Feel free to respond with any questions!

Below are links to the previous two contests:

** Note: any entries that are not centered or cropped may not be considered during judging.

The Winners!

We had just shy of 150 entries by 88 different artists. Thank you so much! As always, I try to look for a variety of picture styles, creativity, complexity and simplicity, digital and analog.

The winners below were selected, and will receive their prizes in their renshuu inboxes later today.

Note: the ordering within each group (gold, silver, bronze) is random.

Also, do note that just because it's October does not mean you need or should do Halloween stuff. Winter, Spring, Summer, other holidays: it's all welcome :)

My first submission! Heavily inspired by Hideshi Hino's movie " Guinea Pig 4: Mermaid in a manhole" (but more cutesy)!

The word for the kao coin would be (にんぎょ) - mermaid!

I can see the improvement from last year!

Im a MASSIVE sanrio fan and I thought it would be cute for Kaolin and Hello Kitty to meet! I feel like they would have much in common. I drew them in traditional Japanese outfits because I think Japanese culture is beautiful. ʚ♡⃛ɞ(ू•ᴗ•ू❁)
