Thanks to everyone for their stunning mascot contest entries for the New York Anime Festival. As Peter wrote on his WORLD, it was very, very tough to come up with a list of 10 finalists from the entries.
Here's how the winners were chosen: First, NYAF made a list of their top 10 picks, and then, on behalf of theO, Ichigo from our podcast/Anime Pulse served as a celebrity judge and made a list of his 10 picks. NYAF then married the two lists together. These 10 winning entries will go on display at Anime Next where convention attendees will vote for their favorite.
Top 10 finalists:
- Summer In The City - by BloodRedArab
- The City That Never Sleeps - by Epoque
