The pixiv Novel's Writing Support Project ~ Transportation ~ starts on Tuesday, June 7th, 2022.



This contest accepts novels under a theme that changes periodically.

The theme this round is "Transportation".
We're accepting works featuring any means of transportation you can think of: trains, cars, motorcycles, ropeways, trains, buses, even escalators! Anything that can take you from one place to another.
The story of a camper van road trip, a travel essay, the tale of an unexpected hijacking, a love story born in a train carriage, or the account of that time when you ended up on a pirate ship... Anything goes, as long as it involves transportation!

The winner of the top prize will be chosen via a lottery from among the contestants. They'll be able to receive an item that will prove a valuable ally in their adventures (a choice of: a suitcase, a stationary bike, or a digital camera).
Amazon gift codes for 1000 JPY will be given to 20 runners-up.
