The drawing entries:




The plastic cups underneath each drawing entry was for the purpose of donors, not for buying votes. The event organizers of the Player's Portal held the cosplay competition to gather whatever amount they could get from the event to donate to Kids' Foundation.

Whoever liked which entry can drop any amount they wish into the plastic cups for the duration of the judging process. The cups were then retrieved by the organizers afterwards.



*We don't have a photo of the winner and the winning entry as they are yet still unscanned but hidden away with one of the members.
