This year is getting festive! The Anime Festival Kassel 2025 drawing contest revolves around the theme “Christmas in a Winter Wonderland” – perfectly matching the convention on St. Nicholas weekend. Let your imagination run wild: maybe Hana-chan is baking cookies in the snow, Manami turns into a magical ice princess, and Dude-kun is on a quest to find the perfect gift. Show us how you let our mascots dive into your personal winter fairy tale!
