We are grateful for all of the entries from all around the world! Here are the winning entries.

Gust Prize

幸せを届けます

まーく弐ゥ

Dev Team's Comment
Thank you for all the submissions for this contest! Every entry was so full of love for Atelier that it took us some time to select the winner...! Among them, we chose this one, which features all the main characters from the series. The memorial stamp-style design is also very moving and reminds us of the series' history. The entire development team will continue to work hard so that the Atelier series will continue to be enjoyed by everyone for a long time!

NOCO Prize

幾星霜、解かす温もり

あちゃお

NOCO's Comment
The warmth of each other that Sophie and Plachta feel on top of the book of the beginning is amazing...! I was moved and a little teary-eyed by the composition of the long journey and above all, the expressions on their faces. Although there are many words such as "friendship" and "affection," I believe that the feelings these two share for each other are unique and cannot be found in any dictionary. Thank you very much for your precious illustration!

Toridamono Prize

「それぞれの鍵」

佐倉星来

Toridamono's Comment
To fit eleven people on one screen is a lot of work to begin with, yet each character's personality and characteristics are beautifully expressed in this illustration. I felt that this is a wonderful illustration that expresses love, and that is why I chose it! Thank you again for all the entries! I always have a hard time deciding which illustration to choose each time....

Cosplay Prize

「街角ケーキ屋さん」

おしやま

Dev Team's Comment
Elie struggling to make a cheesecake! Even the struggle is realistically reproduced. This must be S+!

嫉妒之心

メルル:Akemi Shion 曉美シオン / Kinoko菌
ライアス:宏宏HongHong

Dev Team's Comment
As the title "Jealousy" suggests, they look a little standoffish. I wonder if Lias is jealous of Meruru...? This is a piece that makes me curious about the conversation.

普拉芙妲

Lily(リリィ)

Dev Team's Comment
This is truly a Plachta doll! It is amazing to see the high level of replication, from the posing to the way her hair flutters! The calm and somewhat inhuman atmosphere is also well represented.
