Gathering Talent to Co-Create a Mysterious Dreamscape

The 2nd Creator Contest launched under the theme "Hope Is a Waking Dream."

Running from April to September 2025, the event prioritized deep fan co-creation and saw substantial growth in both scale and quality compared with the first edition. Spanning six countries/regions — including China, the UK, Japan and Indonesia — the contest attracted thousands of high-quality submissions and gathered leading illustrators, intangible cultural heritage artists and other established creators. Ambitious works such as physical installations and 3D models showcased elevated creativity and craftsmanship.

After public voting and professional evaluation, numerous standout entries were selected, reflecting global creators’ passion for interpreting the Lord of Mysteries universe. The contest will continue to cultivate a premium co-creation ecosystem and connect fans to expand the IP’s narrative.
