SEGA Prize Hatsune Miku Super Premium Figure Outfit Design Contest Round 3 Results Announced!
I recently reported on the third design contest for a SEGA prize figure back in May this year, and now I’m able to present you with the results of said competition right here!
The theme for this illustration comp was “splash parade“, and judges were looking for entries bursting with energy which represented a “pop summer“. Plenty of entries were sent in, but only five have been given awards: 1 was given the overall award, with 4 other pieces given the secondary “excellence award”. If you’d like to see all of the entries, you can find them on the piapro website here!
Now without futher ado, let’s take a look!

This illustration is the overall winner which will be turned into a prize figure very soon! The winning design will be adjusted by artist Nardack for the sake of making merchandise from it. Keep an eye out on our social media pages for updates as to when it’ll be available and what it’ll look like IRL!
“Excellence award(s)”

As with previous SEGA prize figure design comps (such as the second one we covered before), the four illustrations given the “excellence award” (as well as the overall winning design) will be turned into acrylic keychains with stands that will also be available as SEGA prizes!
Well done to everyone who plucked up the courage to enter a competition like this, and congratulations to the winners featured here! There are sure to be plenty more illustration comps where that one came from, so make sure to keep an eye on all the relevant official social media accounts and VocaSphere to find out what’ll be happening next. If you’d like to find out more about this competition, you can check out my earlier article here – it might help prep you for what the next one might be like!
** UPDATE ON MARCH 9 2021 **
For Miku Day 2021, the first visuals of the Splash Parade figure have been released! The original design by 風船猫 / Fuusen Neko has been adapted by Nardack and rendered into 3D figure form:
