It is an artistic contest taking place DURING the festival. Visitors can witness the creation process of every artist and therefore discover their universe in real live.
All artists having a stand at Polymanga must participate.

During Polymanga's first day (Friday the 7th of April), at the opening, the artists will know the topic. 2 hours later the first artists will be randomly picked and will have to start the Arting-Spirit contest on the artistic platforms dedicated for the occasio, outside their artist stands.

Each artist will have 2 hours, one by one, to submit his or her creation on CLIP STUDIO PAINT. Their creation process will be released live during the festival and then on the internet and social networks.

On Monday the 10th of April, a jury will judge each creation secretly. The one that gets the highest grade will win the contest. The winner will earn 1600CHF, the 2nd 1000CHF, the 3rd 500CHF, the 4th 250CHF and the 5th 100CHF. The Polymanga reward is 500CHF.

The winners will be announced publicly during the pubic ceremony in which every artist will briefly explain his or her artistic process.
