After saving the world with our Mobile Suit contest in the spring, the Wacom community staff felt that we should get back to the basics for our next contest. And for you anime aficionados, what is more basic that drawing a girl? This time you don't need to create a character who will save the Earth Federation. Instead, we want you to show us your skill drawing the anime/manga heroine that will catch our imagination.

We will have two categories for the Anime Girl Contest - the Heroine award and the Cute award. The winner of the Heroine award will undoubtedly win our respect with her brilliance, determination, and attitude. The Cutest Girl will make our hearts melt and elicit a collective "awwwwwwwwww" as soon as we look into her doe-eyed face. So get back to basics and enter this contest. We are accepting entries from now until Aug 31. Give us your best girl!

Note: All winners will be eligible for inclusion in Wacom advertising with artist credit, upon confirmation of hi-resolution photo.
