The Pokémon TCG Illustration Contest 2024 Is Now Open to Entries
Artists have a little over three months to submit their work capturing “Magical Pokémon Moments.”
The Pokémon TCG Illustration Contest 2024 is officially underway. Artists from Japan, the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand can submit artwork that embodies the theme “Magical Pokémon Moments.” The artwork entry period will continue through January 31, 2024, at 5:59 a.m. PST.
Artists can feature the following Pokémon in their card: Charizard, Pikachu, Eevee, Feraligatr, Flygon, Absol, Bidoof, Melmetal, Amped Form Toxtricity, or Koraidon. Cash prizes will be awarded to the top artists in a handful of categories, and each of the top winning cards will be made into a promo card. Promo card distribution will vary by country.

You need a nickname. Something like PokeOcean as a play on PokeBeach because I wish you had a website for your updates XD

Thank you for posting this. I really enjoy hearing about Pokémon artist process. It makes me fell more connected to the art,
Well my two entries are complete. We’re not allowed to share them but I chose Feraligatr and Absol. I tried really hard and they’re some of my best works so hoping one of them at least makes it to top 300. 
There’s going to be a lot of competition this time since it’s more than 2 countries allowed to enter.

Please share them once the submission period is over and they’ve selected the top 300! Really excited to see yours versy!
I didn’t have time the last couple months like last year, so wasn’t able to do any this time around. I completely believe in your abilities, if you don’t make 300 we’ll know their judgment is iffy for a 2nd year in a row
