When we opened the gates of our Spirit Blossom festival, we invited you to create something beautiful and you delivered. Every brushstroke, lighting choice, and composition felt touched by magic.

We received thousands of submissions across the globe and were blown away by the creativity and passion you put into every piece. So, without further ado, here are the Spirit Blossom Fan Art Contest Grand Prize and Honorable Mentions.

GRAND PRIZE WINNERS

These three stood out as the top submissions based on judging criteria (in no particular order), and members of the League of Legends art team shared their thoughts on each piece:

JamesExcalibur

“We loved how this piece captured the Myth of the Wandering Queen and her Ready Hand, and the creative use of in-game motifs and stylized visuals to sell the drama and tragedy of these characters. This piece really expresses the emotions visually with strong impact and left a lasting impression.”

Wow_Nice_One

“This piece beautifully captures the meaning of Spirit Blossom and how each champion is meant to illustrate a legend or folktale, passed down through generations of storytelling and festivals in Ionia. The texture of it is lovely, and it’s also beautifully composed.”

HONORABLE MENTIONS

Our fifteen honorable mentions were also absolutely amazing. Huge congrats to everyone selected! We hope you enjoy exploring these incredible entries from players around the world. 

Thank you again to everyone who participated and brought Spirit Blossom to life. 

As the season continues, please tag @leagueoflegends when you post Spirit Blossom art—we love seeing what you make!
