If you have ever done, just remember to send us links for your articles or your photos. Otherwise, we will be unable to add votes for you. Your understanding will be deeply appreciated :P!
To realize cooperation with more anime, manga, cosplay etc fans, we will also launch a fanart contest about Axis Powers Hetalia at January 1, 2012.

4. How Many People Will Win Out Finally?
The number of winners is absolutely decided by YOU! We will set 1 winner if less than 10 people join in the contest. Each 1 winner number will be added when every 10 more people join in. That is to say, 2 winners will be picked out if 11-20 people take part in. 3 will be picked out if 21-30 people join in and so on.
How to Win?
1. Get votes from Facebook, Twitter and Google Plus.
After receiving your information and fanart works, we will post an article about you at our blog within 1 working day and send you the link. There will be Facebook, Twitter and Google Plus buttons displayed above the article. Everybody can vote for you via these buttons. Polls you get from all of them will be added up finally.
To take over the lead, you are strongly recommended to ask support from your friends. Don’t be hesitant to ask them and their friends to vote for you!
2. Get extra votes from us.
Yeh, we do offer extra votes for all of you. However, to make the contest absolutely fair, we will only offer 15 extra votes for each participant at most. All you need to do is to post articles on websites that have already been operated for some time. As long as the contest is related to the contest and covers a hyperlink to our store, this article or the article we make for you, we will add extra 1 vote for you. But different articles on the same site won’t help you get repetitive votes.
After getting all extra votes we can provide, you can still popularize the contest. Once the contest gets known by more people, you are likely to get more polls too!
Another easier way to get extra votes is to take a photo with this placard. Post the photo onto any site you have, you will get extra 10 votes! Here is an example:

FAQs:
1. Must my fanart works be related to Axis Powers Hetalia cosplay? And must they be original?
We are sorry but it’s a must! Anybody who cites others’ fanart pictures will be disqualified. And the source where you initially posted the fanart will be needed, together with above basic information. We will check. Your understanding will be deeply appreciated :P.
2. If I win out, can I transfer the costume to my friend?
Yes, you can send the costume to anybody you like once you win out.
3. Will I be required to do some things for you if getting the sponsorship from you?
We hold this contest, looking forward to getting more cooperation with any of you. So, winner will sign a contract with us. But just don’t worry. It will be easy for you to take some photos with the costume and share those pictures with us, right?
