Japan Day + Overload Art Competition Results
Sponsored by Sony NZ, Madman Entertainment & Graphic Novel Cafe

Japan Day 2018 has come and gone, and we were blown away by all the submissions we received for the Japan Day+Overload Art Competition. While all of the artwork was amazing, unfortunately our judges from the Overload Graphic Design Team could only choose the best three to send prizes to – our three winners presented on stage, and their artworks can be seen below. Congratulations!

Big thanks to Japan Day for hosting us at The Cloud, and Sony NZ, Madman Entertainment and Graphic Novel Cafe for the prizes!

1st place – Sophie Usui

Judge: “We were astonished by the high level of skill and detail that went into this piece – even the lanterns come alive in this illustration! The artist created a believable Ghibli world that we would love to visit.”

For 1st place, Sophie received a pair of Sony 1000X Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones

2nd Place – Alice Mok

Judge: “The festival theme really comes through in this image without being so literal, which I appreciate. It’s subtle and feels more like a believable setting, giving it a greater sense of connection.”

For 2nd place, Alice received a Sony Portable Wireless Speaker with Bluetooth, a $50.00 Madman Voucher and $50 worth of GNC Vouchers

3rd place – Wasan Techawibulchai

Judge: “Great composition, and the mimicking of lens blur to bring focus to Chihiro is really nice. She really pops out in this artwork.”

For 3rd place Wasan received a $50.00 Madman Voucher and $50 worth of GNC Vouchers
