No prior experience is needed, and all ages are welcome! The competition is divided into three age categories: Under 12s: The main focus is on a fun idea and the joy of creation. The character's backstory can be short (e.g., 5–10 sentences). 13-17 year olds: More detailed visual execution and a story that reveals the character's motivations and game world are expected. Adults: Adults are expected to present more in-depth concept design and a nuanced character description, also reflected in the illustration.
