2023 Summer Patreon Campaign Banner Contest!
🕑 Added 2023-05-16 02:38:13 +0000 UTCHi everyone, summer is just around the corner! Time for camping, hiking, beach visits, and all sorts of outdoor activities that come with warm weather! In Japan, summer is the time for natsumatsuri (lit. summer festival), where many national and local summer celebrations take place across Japan.
Thank you again to all of our Patreon supporters for keeping us alive. As mentioned during the 2022 Halloween campaign, this Summer we will be refilling the AniDB bank account with a new fundraising Patreon post.
The Contest
Users have the chance to contribute their creativity to the Patron post banner! See the submissions of our 2022 Halloween contest here: https://anidb.net/forum/thread/797147
For this contest, submit a summer themed AniDB anime banner! The winning banner will be featured as our 2023 Summer Patreon fundraising post banner. The banner should tie in summer themes with both anime and AniDB.
What does a 'summer' entail?
The theme centres around summer activities! Both general and Japan-specific summer activities are welcome.
Some illustrative examples include:
1. Camping
2. Hiking
3. Beach visits
4. Natsumatsuri (festivals, wearing yukata, shrine visits, food and games, fireworks)
Etc. This list is non-exhaustive.
The Prize
The winner will have their banner and username (unless you choose to remain anonymous) featured publicly on our upcoming 2023 Summer Patreon fundraising post.
The winner will also receive a Creative Content badge on their userpage.

The Rules
- Anyone can participate, both Patrons and regular users.
- The submission period will be open from 2023-May-16 Tuesday to 2023-Jun-16 Friday.
- To enter your submission, simply reply to this AniDB forum thread with your picture.
If you wish to make an anonymous submission, send an AniDB forum PM to CDB-Man instead. - The voting period will be from 2023-Jun-17 Saturday to 2023-Jun-25 Sunday. You may vote on as many images as you like.
- If we suspect vote stuffing, then the staff will take this into consideration when looking at the results, and discard entries if needed.
- In the unlikely event of a tie, a runoff vote will be held from 2023-Jun-26 Monday to 2023-Jun-28 Wednesday for all images coming first place in the original vote. Each user will only get 1 vote in the runoff.
- In the even-more unlikely event of a tie in the runoff vote, the AniDB staff will decide the winner.
Image Requirements
- Submit an AniDB anime image that will be used as the banner on our upcoming Patreon fundraising post. The banner should tie in this contest's theme (as described above) with both anime and AniDB.
- You are allowed to use the AniDB logo in your image, and it is encouraged!
- Original content is preferred, remixed content is acceptable.
- Since the images will be posted on our public Patreon page, all images must be family-friendly, for all ages.
1. 18+ / adult images will not be accepted.
2. For borderline / ecchi images, the staff (mainly CDB-Man) will have sole discretion to accept or reject the submission. Note: we will lean on the more conservative side. - You are allowed to sign your image with your name (and optionally, your AniDB user ID). Please have the signature in the bottom-right corner.
- All images should be submitted in PNG format to comply with Patreon's requirements.
- For a Patreon post, a 16:9 ratio image would fit best.
- Images should be high resolution, 1920 x 1080 at minimum.
- We reserve the right to disqualify images that don't meet minimum quality standards.
I'd also like to ask everyone to name the characters and anime contained in your submission. It helps a lot to identify who they are!
Good Luck And Have Fun!
We are looking forward to your participation. Let the artistic creativity of our anime fans run wild! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
