掲示板 Forums - 2022 Kao Coin Drawing Contest! (October 3rd ~ 31st)
Top > renshuu.org > Announcements > Archived Announcements
Welcome to the annual Kao-coin drawing contest!
Content period: 10/4-10/31
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.
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 4 months of renshuu pro and a super pack of stickers from our Kaochan Etsy store! We'll pay to have them shipped anywhere in the world (postal address required if you choose to receive them).
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 social media to promote this contest or future ones.
We hope you join! Feel free to respond with any questions!

TEMPLATE FOR THE IMAGE
** Note: any entries that are not centered or cropped may not be considered during judging.
Winners!
We received such an amazing collection of images - it was quite tricky narrowing it down. Due to the difficulty in doing so, expanded the third place from 4 to 5 people.
Gold (3 winners) - 4 months of renshuu pro + a super sticker pack from KaoLand, our sticker store!
Silver (3 winners) - 4 months of renshuu pro
Bronze (5 winners) - 2 months of renshuu pro
Everyone else - a week of renshuu pro
**Information about the prizes will go out very soon, so please keep an eye on your renshuu inbox!
The winning entries are given below! The ordering in each category is random.
How did we choose the winners?
As difficult as it was, we looked at Kao-coins that had one or more of the following traits:
- Unique artwork
- Well done
- Good usage of Kao-chan's face/body in the work
We tried to get a wide range of drawing styles, and while some users had more than one entry, only the best entry for each user was eligible (we wanted to give out prizes to as many people as possible!)
Finally, a large number of the entries will be made into Kao-coins later this month!

Yay! Finally another drawing contest, I can't wait to draw.
Hello! Here is my submission, ハムスター or ネズミ. Drawing is based on my actual hamster.
ぼうけん
Hi, thanks for the help naming it. I hope you enjoy it; it was fun to try digital art. Any advice is appreciated :)
Hi, I am unsure of what to call it. I hope you enjoy it; it was fun to try art. Any advice is appreciated :)
Maybe ぼうけん for adventure?

I think that is a fitting name thanks for the help.
Rococo style or ロココ!
I'm coming back to being more active on here, and this contest is pretty awesome!
Don't forget, the picture needs to go in the circular shape in order for it to be considered in the contest! 
My second submission, this time I decided to do a different style and I also wanted to do some more related to japanese culture, so here's a Nekomata! I like it more than my previous Kao coin. This time with a Kao shamisen.
