Pokémon Masters Fan Art Festival

It’s been nearly half a year since Pokémon Masters launched, and we couldn’t be prouder of the amazing community that’s gathered to support this game. From the beginning, we’ve loved seeing the incredible fan art creations the Pokémon Masters community has produced, and we can’t wait to see what else you have in store for us. To celebrate all of you and your unique art, we’re hosting a Fan Art Festival Contest (“Contest”) where users can submit original works of fan art for a chance to win prizes. In addition, we’ll showcase our favorite submissions on the official Pokémon Masters social media channels.

Contest Period
From February 10, 2020 at 9:00 a.m. PST until February 23, 2020 at 11:59 p.m. PST, submit your creation by filling out our official entry form (linked below), and you’ll be entered to win up to 15,100 gems.

Summary of Submission Guidelines and Rules
You must submit an original artwork inspired by characters appearing in Pokémon Masters. Listed below is a summary of what we’re looking for. For a full list of the guidelines and rules regarding submissions and the Contest, please see the Official Rules of the Contest.

Generally, there are no strict rules regarding what is considered art. You can capture your favorite sync pair in a beautifully crafted piece of digital majesty...or recreate their visage in latte foam!
