The contest called for artworks created under the theme "Communication" with regards to "Miyamoto Hikari" and "Allison Snow", who are the featured characters in "Summer Lesson".

"Summer Lesson" uses the technology of VR and we were able to realize the experience of "Having a character in front of your eyes and interacting with them." It's a contest based on this experience. This type of experience is conveyed by actually playing the game, so it is something that is hard to explain to people who haven't played it. We have long since thought about, how to actually express this part that is so hard to convey. 
So we thought about asking all the artists out there, to express in an illustration or a manga, what the feeling is like when meeting a character in VR, talking to and having an exchange with them and what they feel doing so, while consulting with CELSYS on the contest efforts.
