pixiv partnered with Malaysia's largest doujinshi convention, ComicFiesta, to host the ComicFiesta 2025 x pixiv Illustration Contest, pixiv's first illustration contest centered on Malaysian creators.

The theme for the Original Category was Malaysia. A diverse array of works depicting various aspects of Malaysia emerged, inspired by Malaysian culture, daily life, memories, and love for one's homeland.

The final judging for the Original Category was conducted both online and offline. Online voting was based on the number of pixiv bookmarks on each work, while offline voting took place via sticker voting at the pixiv booth at ComicFiesta 2025.

The ComicFiesta Booth Category allowed any entries related to booth activities, including doujinshi covers, posters, catalogs, promotional illustrations, and more. We received numerous entries of both original and derivative works.

Today, we present the winning entries selected for the ComicFiesta 2025 x pixiv Illustration Contest, along with commentary from the sponsoring companies and pixiv.
