The annual festival where creators of all genres gather is coming back again this year!

The note-sponsored creative festival "note Creator Festival 2022" (commonly known as #CreatorFes) will be held for the entire month of October!

This year's theme is "I tried making it, I tried doing it."

With a mix of online and in-person events, there are plenty of opportunities to get inspired by leading creators, participate in hands-on creative events, and feel motivated to say "I want to try that!"

What is this year's theme, "I tried making it, I tried doing it."

On note, experience articles where creators have actually tried doing something or making something are gathering one after another.

Articles that detail real-life experiences have a unique energy and appeal.

So far, over 50,000 posts with the theme "I tried making it, I tried doing it", have been collected in about 9 months since the start. We also held a submission contest called "The 'I Tried It' Grand Prize" in collaboration with the famous web media Daily Portal Z, known for its interesting articles. Many masterpieces aiming for publication on Daily Portal Z were submitted.

The "Creator Festival 2022" is here to support these creative activities for one month.
