Join the Million Parade Contest for Your Chance to Shine
An Exciting Opportunity Offered by Darts Live
The Darts Live Company, part of the Sega Sammy Group, is thrilled to announce the launch of the
Million Parade Contest as part of their original goods creation and sales service,
Creators Parade! This contest presents an extraordinary chance for creators to showcase their artistic talent while vying for a cash prize of
¥1,000,000 for the best design.
Showcase Your Colorful Imagination
The theme for this inaugural design contest is
“Color Your Imagination with Your Colors.” Artists are encouraged to submit original illustrations and designs for T-shirts that reflect their favorite colors or unique personalities. This is an open invitation to both seasoned artists and newcomers alike, allowing everyone to express themselves creatively.
Open to Everyone – No Experience Required
The contest welcomes participants of all ages and backgrounds, provided they reside in Japan. There is no entry fee, making it accessible for everyone. To participate, simply prepare your desired design, create a T-shirt listing on
Creators Parade, and submit your application through the contest form. The whole process is made as easy as possible, so even those without prior experience in T-shirt creation can join in. The submission can be completed in as little as one minute, although actual time may vary depending on network conditions and file sizes.
Transform Your Design into Cash!
To incentivize creativity, the contest will award
¥1,000,000 to the grand prize winner, while up to four excellent designs will each receive a prize of
¥50,000. The winning designs will also be featured in the background of game screens on Darts Live's online dart machines, including
Darts Live 2 and
