Mythril Prize
Title:Always at Full Tilt!
Artist: Otake
Artist's Comment: Happiness and fun wait for no adventurer. That's why you should always run like the wind!
Judge's Comment: A standout number that has delighted judges with its free-spirited mood and soft yet dynamic presentation. Who can resist being drawn in by this carefree, rollicking scene?

Title: 8th Anniversary Lunch Box
Artist: Nachu
Artist's Comment: A Mithra, Tarutaru, and mandragoras celebrating with a cake deep in the forest
Judge's Comment: Literally a tasty tribute to the 8th Anniversary.
While the Tarutaru and Mithra are undeniably adorable, it's the mandragoras that have won the hearts of the judges.

• We're sorely tempted to have a bite or three, but could as easily gaze in marvel at this palatable work of art for hours on end.
In the future, we would be keen to see someone rise to the challenge of making art out of a single a la carte dish.

Title: 8th Anniversary Poster
Artist：Riru
Artist's Comment：Tarutaru, Mithra, Humes, Elvaan, Galka, moogles--even monsters are invited in join!
Judge's Comment：Can you get any cuter than this? Why, there's even a Hume sporting a samurai topknot! The chocobo-inspired background lends further warmth to the already adorable assembly of characters. Who wouldn't be delighted to receive this as a postcard?

• Out of curiosity, is it by coincidence that there are 16 characters in total?

Title：Celebrating on a Starry Hillock
Artist：Kupipi
Artist's Comment ：A cake baked and decorated in the spirit of the anniversary.
From the tree and Goblin to the mandragora and Tarutaru, everything you see is edible

Judge's Comment：The artist evidently spared no effort in producing this scrumptious three-tiered cake. Among other things, the marzipan characters are a sight to behold...and undoubtedly tasty too! We also couldn't help but notice that the alphabet biscuits have been baked to perfection
