Campus Annual Competitions

What It Is

​

​August 26 is International Dog Day (founded in 2004 by animal-welfare advocate Colleen Paige). This time we are not after the polished official portrait - we want the dog as its true self: the most natural, scribbly, goofy, out-of-character second. Selected works will be made into "Star Dog Postcards" and featured at FamilyMart's DE Global Art Agency ALEA Featured Gallery, printable at stores nationwide. Your dog, officially on a postcard.

Categories (choose one, or enter both)

​

• A. Scribble Illustration: Hand-drawn, tablet, or mouse - all welcome. It is not about technical polish, but the "scribbled in three seconds yet uncannily accurate" spirit.

• B. Candid Photography: A phone camera is all you need. Lounging, spacing out, belly-up, failed poker face - the more natural, the better.

Eligibility

​

Open to all ages. Age is determined by full years as of the submission deadline; entrants in the youth group must be registered with the assistance of a parent/guardian or supervising teacher.

Important Statement

​

This event is a "work-showcase and nationwide retail-exposure initiative," with no cash prize and no physical award. Its core value is: nationwide retail exposure + media coverage + certificate of participation + supervising-teacher letter of appreciation. Works are featured on the FamilyMart retail platform for two months as promotional exposure; this does not involve sales revenue sharing. Fees paid by the public to print postcards are FamilyMart's printing service charges and do not constitute revenue sharing or remuneration for entrants. Completing registration constitutes understanding and acceptance of the above terms.

Theme Restriction: Real Dogs Only

​

The theme is strictly limited to real dogs (biological canines); the subject of every illustration or photograph must be an actual dog. The following do not meet the theme and will not be accepted, with no refund: humans dressed as dogs (costumes, anthropomorphized or human-dog characters); cats or other animals posing as dogs; three-dimensional figures (figurines, statues, dolls); non-living objects (plush toys, models, robot dogs); dog shapes formed from plants or floral arrangements. We want the kind of dog that pants, rolls belly-up, and lazes around.

Notes

​

Works must be the entrant's original creation, personally photographed or drawn, and must not infringe others' copyright or likeness rights. Selected works will be featured on the FamilyMart retail platform for two months. Registration grants the organizer authorization to use the work for postcard production, event promotion, press coverage, and social media, with no additional fee payable. Entry fees are non-refundable once paid. Works must comply with public decency and must not contain violence, animal cruelty, or similar content; violations result in disqualification without refund. The organizer reserves the right to adjust event details and hold final interpretation.
