The deadline to enter the Pokémon TCG Illustration Contest 2024 is less than two weeks away, so don’t wait to submit your artwork! Artists have until 5:59 a.m. PST on January 31, 2024, to get their entries in. This year’s theme is “Magical Pokémon Moments,” and if you’re feeling unsure about submitting your artwork, or just need an extra boost of motivation, check out this interview with artists who have been through this experience. In “Pokémon Trading Card Game Illustration Contest 2022 Interview with the Winners,” REND, Taiga Kasai, and Julie Hang discuss their history with Pokémon, why they entered the contest, and how they felt when they were selected as winners.

Artists entering the contest can choose from a handful of Pokémon: Charizard, Pikachu, Eevee, Feraligatr, Flygon, Absol, Bidoof, Melmetal, Amped Form Toxtricity, or Koraidon. Cash prizes will be awarded to the top artists in a handful of categories, and the top winning illustrations will be made into promo cards. Promo card distribution will vary by country.

Good luck to all participants in the Pokémon TCG Illustration Contest 2024!
