Project SEKAI Costume Design Campaign Round 19 Announced
The first of the month brings another Project SEKAI Colorful Stage! feat. Hatsune Miku costume design contest! And this one’s for artists who remember the good old days, giving those with a good amount of years under their belts the opportunity to show young whippersnappers what being retro is all about (we promise this isn’t an April Fool’s joke!).

Details of the competition
- Submission dates: from April 1st until April 30th, 2022 at 17:00 JST
- Theme: レトロ / “Retro”
- Characters allowed: Any of the unit characters in Project SEKAI are allowed to act as a “model” for your outfit design.
- Number of winners: 2 (one design for the male characters based on the theme, and one design for the female characters based on the theme).
Winners will…
- Have their design added to the game as part of the Premium Mission Pass* in September 2022
- Win an Amazon giftcard worth ¥3000 JPY
- Have their name featured in the game credits
*Please note that the Premium Mission Pass is a pay-to-access feature. It costs 1960 yen for the whole month in the Japanese version ($15.99 USD a month in the global version), and gives you “paid” crystals (x1800) and Virtual Coins (x1800). To unlock the outfit for Premium Mission Pass, you’ll need to earn at least 25 Live Points* before the end of the month. For other colourways of the featured outfit, you’ll need to earn 6000, 7000 and 8000 Live Points before the end of the given month.
*It was announced in Wondershow Channel #7 (April 2021) that it would be made easier to acquire the first colour version in the Premium Mission Pass every month! So now, instead of having to earn 5000 points for the first one, you only need 25.
- Amount of submissions allowed: One entrant can enter as many times as they like, but only one entry can be chosen to win at the end of the competition overall.
- If you’d like to make multiple entries, please post them as separate tweets, each with the appropriate tags (see below).
- Tags: whatever tags you use, make sure to include both the 「#プロセカ衣装デザイン」 and 「#レトロ」 tags when you post to Twitter, otherwise your entry won’t be counted.
- Please make sure to include your Twitter handle somewhere in the image, or your entry won’t count (to prove that it’s YOUR design and it wasn’t taken from someone else).
- Please specify the title of your outfit design, either on the art itself or in the text of the tweet as you post it.
- Your entry must NOT have been published anywhere else or entered into any other previous competitions.
- Copyright belongs to the illustrator, but the organiser is in charge of management of the design.
- Anything posted after the entry deadline will NOT be eligible for participation.
- Anyone under 18 years old needs to get a parent/guardian’s permission before entering this competition.
- If you are selected to win, all following correspondence will be in Japanese. Hence why you will most probably need to have a reasonable knowledge of the language if you decide to enter the competition (and trust me when I say that navigating Japanese email conversations is no easy feat!)
Other illustration notes
- You can format your submission however you want, but you need to include views of your design from the front, back and side.
- Please indicate whether your design is for men or women somewhere in the design.
- Please do not include any designs for hairstyles in your entry, since these outfits are intended to be worn by multiple characters.
- Hair ornaments, however, are perfectly acceptable, so long as they are placed above the ears.
- Your work may have to be edited somewhat prior to being used in-game, because certain aspects might not be able to be implemented with 3D modelling, so please keep this in mind.
