Voted top "Showcases impressive photography skills 📸"!

• Happi Tuna (Artist, Graphic designer): "The christmas vibes are SO STRONG like oh my god it feels so professional. "
• china (Idol Story staff): "Gorgeous shot of Aqours 3rd years having a Christmas party. You sure put a lot of effort into setting up a whole scene, with lots of props and decorations. The light looks great and makes an overall great photo."
• dubu (Idol Story staff, Artist, Graphic designer): "This persons photography is really good, the set design is perfect and the figures look natural and not like extra additions. A lot of work clearly went into this i could go on forever omg the lighting is great, the positioning the extra decorations (the presents). THIS WHOLE ENTRY IS GORGEOUS "
• Hanayox (Member of the judges panel): "Very cute ! I love the set that was created for this photo "
• Hoshino☆ (Idol Story staff, School Idol Tomodachi staff, SIT:Dash!! staff): "This user is amazing at scaling pieces of merchandise in their photography. You can really tell the Aqours 3rd years are happily celebrating the holidays together (with nesoberi of the remaining Aqours members- scaled to true actual size of a real human holding one)! The room they're in gives the vibe that they decorated it themselves for their get-together, and overall creates a festive scene that could actually happen in the LoveLive! world! Along with the lighting that brings it all together, it's a masterful piece. Amazing work!"
• lizertoast (Member of the judges panel): "So well taken and thought out"
• rdsathene (School Idol Tomodachi staff, Donator): "All the entries were so great! This one just spoke to me as a winter holiday story illustrated in one beautifully composed photograph."

Runner up for "Beautifully illustrates the spirit of winter ❄️"!

• Sammy <3 (Graphic designer): "it’s creative and funny"
• dubu (Idol Story staff, Artist, Graphic designer): "THE PURE UNMATCHED CHAOS OF THIS ENTRY HAS ME IN ACTUAL TEARS, THIS IS SO CURSED AND LOW KEY FESTIVE I LOVE IT SO MUCH KDWQAKHBWADXSKB IM WHEEZING This is a humorous take on the challenge and in that sense, I feel it illustrates the spirit of Christmas/winter festive. I glanced back at the entry to see what more i can write about but everything about it is making me laugh omg why does mary's face look like that and the cow looks like it has broken legs i cant hbkasjh. Shes so small compared to the figures in the second picture she looks like a lost child. This entry might not be the best in terms of quality, but out of my top 3 this is the one out of ALL the entries i will remember the mos.t i cant tell if it was intentionally done like this but if it was i would select 'showcases impressive photography skills' also"
• i eat stickers (Artist): "its just mad funny bro "

  • china (Idol Story staff): "Great idea to take Chika out at night and see the beautiful city illuminations for the holidays. I love the light and the depth of the photo."
  • Hoshino☆ (Idol Story staff, School Idol Tomodachi staff, SIT:Dash!! staff): "This is what exactly Petite Idol Studio means for me when I look at this entry! Not only did they fit the Winter Adventures theme, they created a special moment by taking Chika out to the local celebrations in their city! They found inspiration right where they live and used it to convey the exact feeling you may get if you were standing there yourself. For me, it conveys lights from the trees highlighting one's face in a cold winter evening. There's warmth spending time celebrating the festivities with people close to them. It's a comfy winter adventure! I genuinely enjoyed this photo~"
