Riot Games Hosts U.K. Manga Competition to Celebrate Spirit Blossom Event
Riot Games has announced a manga competition for artists in the U.K. as a celebration of the successful Spirit Blossom event in League of Legends, Legends of Runeterra, and Teamfight Tactics.
Starting from Aug. 3, fans can share and submit their own one-page manga creation inspired by the Kin of the Stained Blade cinematic video, featuring Ionian brothers Yone and Yasuo in an intense katana battle.
Competition Details
The manga competition will run from Aug. 3 at 12pm CT to Aug. 17 at 5:59pm CT. The winners will be announced on Aug. 24.
A total of 10 winners will be chosen and they’ll receive Spirit Blossom prizes in League and Teamfight Tactics, as well as Spirit Blossom merchandise, a limited-edition ramen bowl kit, haori (a traditional Japanese jacket), and pins.
Exciting Prize for First Place
The first-place winner will also have the opportunity to speak with Riot’s lead concept artist, Gem Lim, who was responsible for the concept art of the Spirit Blossom skins.
Riot Games has a history of hosting art contests, including Little Legends and PROJECT skin competitions in 2019. However, this manga-themed competition is a first for the company.
