- Please note that some modifications may be made to the chosen design.
- Please avoid placing any text information on the submission. However, the corresponding character arm tattoos (i.e., “01”) is fine.
- Derivative characters (i.e, Snow Miku and Mikudayo) are not eligible for selection.
- Please remember to post your submission without any license conditions (check example above).
