• Submissions may only include original characters or either of our mascots
• The size of the submission should be B5 (with 0.125-inch bleed)

2. You may submit multiple entries.
3. All submissions must be original. This means no content from any other artist, anime, manga, or any other copyrighted material.
4. Artworks should represent UBC Anime Club in some way – you may use our mascots and logo in your entry as you wish.
5. Entries must be tasteful – meaning no nudity, gore, etc.
