Costume Design Announcement
As a prologue to this anniversary project, a "piapro Official Collab" contest was held to decide the costume design for Hatsune Miku's 20th Anniversary.
The Grand Prize design will be adopted as the costume Hatsune Miku will wear for this project.
In this costume, Hatsune Miku will be featured in the visual of the project and will also be made into a "Nendoroid" figure.
*Nendoroids are cute chibi-style figures around 10cm in size based on characters from your favorite anime, games and more.

I am deeply honored to have received the grand prize on a milestone as great as the 20th anniversary!
I wouldn’t be standing here if it weren't for the creators who work with VOCALOID including Hatsune Miku, the support of fans from all around the world, and all those who have been involved in building up the past 20 years.
I deeply thank Miku and everyone from the bottom of my heart.
I hope this will become a wonderful celebration that will stay in everyone's hearts!
Jury Comments
The dressy design, symbolizing the 20th anniversary, is simply lovely.
The distinctive key-shaped scepter is perfect for Hatsune Miku, as someone who has opened the doors to many worlds.
While retaining the essence of Hatsune Miku's original costume, this costume is adorned with jewels and other sparkling elements, which evokes the image of her forging a new era whilst walking alongside creators, worldwide.

The feelings and blessings embodied in this design are in the title itself, "A Bright Future."
Miku and countless creators have joined hands and have created countless wonderful creative works, up till this day.
I believe this future that hides many hidden possibilities within itself, will continue to sparkle brightly, becoming a source of healing and guidance for everyone.

Embedded in the design was a deep respect for creative culture, all while staying true to Hatsune Miku's essence.
The warm yellow gradient of the twin tails adds a gentle, celebratory touch to this 20th anniversary milestone.
I felt that the design was beautifully composed, with the artist's love for Miku expressed in each and every detail.

Thank you for the prize.
I designed it in hopes that Miku, who carries the feelings of many people, would receive many blessings.
With the 20th anniversary coming up in 2027, Miku is now quite the veteran! Congratulations!
Jury Comments
The beautiful decorations which included flowers, ribbons, and the like, were captivating.
The balance between the electric-themed color scheme and frills was also very charming.
It is a costume with the potential of bringing out various creators' charms in their expressions, by being drawn by the said creators.
Thank you for all the submissions!
