2026 Paper Leaping Alive · Dianmei Illustration Awards "Virtual. Reality — Digital and Me"

The first thing we do every day when we wake up is swipe open our phones; interpersonal interactions become dialogue boxes on screens. The boundary between virtual and real has long become blurred in the digital age. Technology brings many conveniences but also quietly takes away some pure times.

Tell us your most real feelings in the digital age.
The 2026 Paper Leaping Alive · Dianmei Illustration Awards takes "Virtual. Reality — Digital and Me" as its theme, inviting creators to honestly face their daily lives and express their most real feelings in the digital age — is it dependence? Coexistence? Or confusion? We hope to explore, together with everyone through the warmth of hand-drawn illustrations, a corner where we can place ourselves in the digital age.

Highest prize: NT$100,000. Creators aged 18 and above are welcome to submit entries enthusiastically.
