Hello, this is Nen-koro🌷

Thank you so much for all your entries to the PolloAI x Shironen Contest...!

Today is finally the
results announcement🎉

In this article, I will be
introducing all the winning works and
announcing the Nen-koro Award☺️

You can also see the detailed announcement of each award in Shirono-aru-chan's article👇

First of all... 75 people!!😳

As I mentioned in my essay.

At first, Norun and I were talking about how
"it would be great if about 20 to 30 people joined."

Then, when we opened the lid,
a total of 75 creators entered.
(There were 73 work submissions!
Masterpieces were gathered in each of the 3 categories✨)

Wait, 75 people...!?😳

It was far beyond what I imagined,
I was so happy I was speechless ( ; ; )
(And my soul left my body😇)

Moreover, since we received more entries than expected,
we urgently added budget to increase the number of award slots,
a total of 13 people will be honored🎉

Thank you, PolloAI, for your generosity...!

Now, here is the announcement👇

🏆 Grand Prize (5,000 yen)

N9-sus AI

💬 Comment from Nenkoro

An MV for 'One Shot II,' a reconstruction of the artist's own origin song 'One Shot' using elements of Jazz and Funk.

Music, visuals, and message—
everything was completed
as a single work.

These words
quietly soak in along with the visuals.

By daring to have a male vocalist sing lyrics written in feminine language,
expressing the fluctuations of life
through that slight sense of dissonance—
I take my hat off to the depth of the artist.

The highest rating throughout the entire judging process.
An undisputed Grand Prize...!

🥇 Category Award (2,000 yen)

Art & Expression Category: Midori Donguri-san

💬 Comment from Nenkoro

A piece that took on the challenge of
an anime battle scene that the creator had 'kept sealed away' for a long time, fully prepared for this contest.

In ruins under the moonlight,
a Shiba Inu and an acorn face off against a golem—
the first video with its quiet tension was already wonderful, but

thinking 'it can be even more intense,'
the creator challenged themselves to full-throttle action in the second video—
I felt the soul of an artist there.

Running up slopes, kicking off walls to jump,
and dashing through the rubble.
Along with the attitude of never giving up on the 'visuals they wanted to create' until the end,
this is a Category Award...!

Story Category: Totonoebito-san

💬 Comment from Nenkoro

'Night on the Galactic Railroad'—
it had the level of perfection of an animated film.

The video quality and mastery of PolloAI are
top-class among all entries.

Completing the
mind-numbing task of "never-ending work"
while raising a child.

And the fact that you declared
"It was incredibly fun✨".

The many cheers gathered in the comments section
tell the story of how much this work was loved
while being created.

A masterpiece created with all your might, well done...!

Promotion Category: Mitsuki Yurishima

💬 Comment from Nenkoro

A work of sheer persistence that turned the PV for the serialized novel "clum!" into
an 8-part serialization project.

The idea of involving readers in the credits as "Special thanks"
was a model for promotion.

Everything is packed into this one phrase😆
Your power to "deliver" the story was magnificent...!

🥈 Runner-up Prize (1,000 yen)

We are announcing the 3 additional prizes that were added on short notice✨

Sora-san

💬 Comment from Nenkoro

The video quality is among the best of all entries...!

The original song "Flowers Surpassing the Clouds,"
the synopsis of the floating island world,
the airship "Lingxiao Flower" inherited from a grandfather——

With music, story, and visuals,
a single work universe was completed 🛩️

And to think, "Everything up to this point was done only on a smartphone"...!
Including the behind-the-scenes story where you even showed us the rejected drafts,
this is a piece that drew me into its world.

Jikken🧪-san

💬 Comment from Nenkoro

"The Rut-Breaking Gacha,"
the article itself was a story.

The multi-layered structure of self-made gacha → real-life experience → animation,
was simply brilliant.

The way you delivered that punchline is unfair...! 🍋

Including the mechanism that makes the reader want to
"try spinning it just once today themselves,"
it was a perfectly completed piece.

Zatsugaku MAMA-san

💬 Comment from Nenkoro

From days when even her spirits were halted by a bone fracture,
this is a piece where she challenged herself to her first video, thinking, "Maybe even a mom can do it if she tries!"

Gratitude to friends, laughter (Chappy's "Peh!" 🤣),
and recording her own voice for the first time while feeling shy—
all of Mommy-san's warmth was packed into this.

That this contest could become a trigger for you to
"try laughing again,"
as the organizer, there is nothing that makes me happier ( ; ; ) 🍀

Ⓟ PolloAI Award

This award was selected by PolloAI ✨

🥇 PolloAI Grand Prize (3,000 credits): Takayuki Adachi

💬 Comment from Nenkoro

TEAM LILITH's PV "UNDERGROUND LIFE".

The synchronization of dialogue and lip-syncing,
the smoothness of the transformation scene,
the impact of each of the three characters' entrance scenes—

It was at a level that made me want to ask that.

Showing the atmosphere of the dressing room,
conveying the relationships between the characters before
moving into the serious invasion part, including the video structure,
it is a masterpiece of a character PV.

📌 The PolloAI Grand Prize supplementary credit prize will be
sent directly to your registered account by PolloAI.

🥈 PolloAI Runner-up Prize (1,000 credits): ken

💬 Comment from Nenkoro

The music video "Signal Link" that "breathed life" into
ChatGPT's anthropomorphic characters, LOGI and NAVI.

First time using Suno,
first time using PolloAI video,
first time video editing—

overcoming three "firsts" at the same time,
to achieve this level of perfection...!
(You're a video editing pro, aren't you?)

Your overwhelming love for AI 🤣
truly became a work that touches the heart.

I also love that it's pointlessly 4K compatible (lol)

🐱 Shiro no Aru Award (1,000 yen)

These are the 2 works that moved Shiro no Aru-chan's heart✨
(Please check out Shiro no Aru-chan's article!)

🐶 Nenkoro Award (1,000 yen)

From here on,
I will announce the 2 works that moved my heart...!

Funa-san

💬 Comment from Nenkoro

Funa-san's article,
in a word,
"was the one that gave the contest a push." was.

You provided a step-by-step account of the video production process,
complete with screenshots down to the "click".

You even anticipated and covered the points
where beginners are bound to stumble (such as the specification where the storyboard is included at the beginning,
or the discussion about aspect ratios).

What's more, you made full use of
the Storyboard Workshop GPTs I created...!

As the one who made the production tool,
there is no way of using it that could make me happier ( ; ; )

You wrote, "I would be happy if people saw this article and thought, 'Let's try making a video!'" but,

without a doubt, I think they have.

Echo of Moss | AI <NORI>-san

💬 Comment from Nenkoro

The fantastical and quiet atmosphere of the entire video
was so beautiful that
I found myself completely drawn in🌿🕯️

In particular, the fog, the lights, the swaying curtains—
each and every subtle movement
expresses the world-building so carefully,

I felt as if the forest of "Echo of Moss"
was truly breathing.

The characters that appear
remained consistent from start to finish,
and it was wonderful how the cohesive world-building
was firmly maintained ✨

Within the silence,
I can feel the beginning of a story.

Thank you for such
an impressive work 😊

Thoughts while judging

Every single work
had a world-building that only that person could create,

honestly, it felt almost
apologetic to have to rank them 😇

I read them over and over,
and kept thinking "this is so good" again and again.

I also had a passionate discussion
with Shironoru-chan (lol)

It was truly difficult to choose,
but that just goes to show how many masterpieces there were ✨

The
challenge of everyonewho participated
is what made this contest.

Thank you so much for livening up
this adult cultural festival ( ; ; )
