Support creators with "#CreativeAwardFeedback"! A "Reviewer Award" will be presented for wonderful feedback
Japan's largest creative contest, "Creative Award 2026," has been underway since April 8th.
In conjunction with the submissions, we are starting an initiative to read and support the submitted works called #CreativeAwardFeedback!
To participate, read a work submitted to "#CreativeAward2026" and post your feedback on note with the hashtag "#CreativeAwardFeedback," or share it on X (formerly Twitter). We will present a "Reviewer Award" to those who provide wonderful feedback (a few winners).
Note that as long as the work was submitted to the Creative Award, articles posted on either note or the story submission site TALES are eligible for feedback.
In addition to writing feedback with "#CreativeAwardFeedback," reading works, giving likes, and leaving comments also serve as support for creators.
Why not share your thoughts and feedback on works you enjoyed or creators you support?
