Top 300 is the first round
I’m expecting top 100 next, and then final results like Illustration Contest 2022
6 entries that are suspected AI by one person slipped through, hopefully enough noise has reached TPC and their contest judges that it needs to be looked at. Otherwise the contest overall has done well
Those that didn’t make the cut have already flooded Twitter with their entries under #PTCGIC2024 so feel free to share 
pikachu is now up E4’s Favorite 2024 Illustration Contest t300 - Pikachu (Ends 6/22)
I’ve been scrolling Twitter for like an hour and seeing all the art that didn’t make the top 300. The level of talent/skill on average entering the contest is insane!! I don’t know how they narrowed it down to 300.
And now they have to pick winners from all of these. That’s a tough job haha
So much amazing art! My favourites from each Pokemon:
Unfortunately I didn’t get selected for the top 300, but I wanted to share my submissions and also highlight my favorites from this year. Honestly so many good entries and I can’t imagine how many great ones didn’t get chosen out of the 10,000+.
Here are my 3 I made:
And these are some of my favorites, too many to choose lol:
Really incredible art! So many I really like. As a Komiya and Kanda fan this one by Hidemaru Atsuta caught my eye.
eevee’s polls are up. I know this one is probably the least exciting, but at least it’ll take the least amount of time to cast votes in
How many of you have spotted the 3 other Pokemon though? 
This is phenomenal as an art piece. If I could have these boards printed to have on a wall I would.
i think i see ninetales and slugma. not sure what the other(s) are supposed to be
Volcarona
Where do you see Volcarona? I suspect bottom right is Rapidash
With 6 fire wings.
Thanks for pointing out that, I had seen 2 but didnt see the 3rd. I think it looks great but I dont understand the perspective. The background itself would look amazing on a folding screen though.
I see it now. Didn’t see it as a closeup. Thank you!
I’m having a hard time seeing it. Looks like Silvally to me.
I thought it looked like Silvally at first too 
Even now, I can just barely see the Volcarona.
Aha I see they’ve been pointed out now, yes that’s correct! Volcarona is difficult but particularly the 6 wings, the tip of the face with the eyes and the little hands below.
@lyleberr yeah having a closer look at the perspective I’d imagine Charizard is on the attack, just a shame we can’t see to what its being aggressive towards. Or it’s just enjoying a fly around in the firey sky
