The 1st Mameboshi Literary Award Continued: Details on the Delightful 🫛 Participation Prize and Awards ⭐️
Hello, this is Yuzuko.
To everyone participating in the 1st Mameboshi Literary Award, and to everyone thinking about participating, thank you.
There is finally (about) one month left until the deadline!
We are still looking forward to your participation!
This time, I have an announcement regarding the participation prize and the various awards!
Participation Prize
The participation prize is icon material created for us by Chakachaka Machine☆!
Chakachaka Machine☆ is a web resource shop located in Kumomisaki Town.
custom materials!
I can almost hear you asking, "What is icon material?"... well, you can use it by placing it on your icon like this.
to make it easier to see!
When you put it on Pachiko-san's note icon... it looks like this!
When you put it on Yuzuko's icon... I don't think this is my icon, but... it looks like this!
Feel free to combine them, move them to your preferred location, or flip them as you like!
We will send them to participants via DM or similar methods.
They will be delivered as a zip file, but if you cannot download or receive them, please let us know so we can discuss alternatives.
Of course, this is a gift, so not using it will not affect the judging!
I prepared it thinking it might be fun to use for your participation announcement!
Feel free to use it for headers or other purposes, not just as an icon~🫛
Details of Each Award
In the initial announcement, I wrote things broadly and hadn't decided at all what to give, but... it has been decided!
First, the announcement of the winners will take place at the Mameboshi Reading Circle on August 24, 2026. I don't know what day of the week that is, but we will be broadcasting live on Stand.fm that day, so please look forward to it!
The channel is the familiar "Ashisoyo"!
What are you saying!
Who do you think is going to do that!
What is this unreasonable demand?
I'm scared of myself
Also, all winners will be presented with a certificate and a 2027 Hishiro Azukido Calendar.
The details of each award are as follows.

In closing
That is all for this announcement!
Participation prizes will be sent out between this weekend and next weekend, so please wait patiently.
Actually, we have already received... 11 works! Wow... I'm about to cry... Now, Pachiko-san doesn't have to fabricate any more articles.
Although I have been giving likes and comments, I haven't read any of the works yet. I'm looking forward to the judging period.
We are still waiting for your submissions for another month!
