Winners announced in “Buu-chan Joins the Carnival” Forum Art Contest
Have you seen the amazing performances in this year’s Forum Art Contest? They’ve put on a fantastic show, and you should definitely check it out! Be amazed by their fabulous Buu-chan art DISPLAYED HERE!
“Buu-chan Joins the Carnival” Forum Art Contest
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, artists and creators of all ages! Join us for the most amazing art contest in the history of AnimeIowa! Our mascot Buu-chan has run off to join the carnival, and he needs your help!
Our 2017 convention theme is “The Dark Carnival of Pigs”, and Buu-chan is ready to become a performer. But what will our porcine mascot do at the carnival? Will he become a traditional performer such as an aerialist on the flying trapeze? Maybe the strong man? Or has he been lured in by the darker side of show, conjuring ancient magic, or becoming an unusual freak show attraction?
Dazzle the world with your amazing art skills, and show us Buu-chan’s role in the carnival. His circus career is in your hands! For full contest details, please visit the contest info thread on the AnimeIowa Forums.
