Among them, 3 facilities will win a drawing event where a professional illustrator will visit the facility as a lecturer and create original goods from the illustrations they draw. In addition, up to 50 facilities will receive a set of drawing materials and manuals that can be used immediately for the drawing event.
At the drawing event, pixivFACTORY will support the preparations for the event, providing preschool children and their parents with the valuable experience of having their illustrations turned into goods. Even children who are not good at drawing will be gently supported by professional illustrators who will serve as instructors.
