This is a great opportunity to expand your customer base!- What benefits does a contest have for my company? -
You can collect illustrations and comics that your company wants.

When the competition starts, the artists on ART street will submit their entries. You can choose artworks that meet your company's needs for commercial use.
By having a competition, not only can you collect artwork, but you can also promote your company and products to ART street creators.
