We apologise for not updating in such a long while because we were negotiating the entry of certain partners and sponsors.
Firstly, we're proud to announce that Imaginary Friends Studios(IFS) is now a sponsor of Graphite. In addition to the provision of prizes, they have kindly agreed to be part of the judging panel for Graphite 2008.

The confirmed judges from IFS at the moment are: Stanley, Kai, Kendrick and Jennyson. You can read their bios on the judges page. We have a fifth judge, whom we hope to confirm soon. We will also upload his biodata then.

We'll also like to take this opportunity to announce that Collateral Damage Studios (CDS) is now an official supporter of Graphite 2008. Do visit their website for more details!

In addition, we would also like to announce that we have set up a deviantart gallery! For participants who ready to submit their artworks especially those competing in the digital category, you can email us a high resolution image of your artwork, complete with a zipped file containing all progress of your artwork. The limit for the zipped file for email submissions should not be over 100mb. We will upload the received submissions to the deviantart gallery wherever possible. As for those illustrating their works in the traditional media, should you also want your works to be uploaded on the deviantart gallery, kindly send us a high resolution image of your artwork. As for the actual submission, it must still be done physically. Do take note though, that the uploaded high resolution image for those done in traditional media might be slightly different from the original. Please send your submissions to graphite@nusanime.com. Email us too if you need further clarifications.
 
Lastly, slight changes have also been made to the rules and regulations with regard to the categories for participation. You are encouraged to download the latest version of the .pdf files to keep yourself updated on the changes. The .pdf files will be updated by Monday (4 August 08), which will be followed up by an announcement.

More updates will follow as and when we confirm them. Do continue to visit our site regularly for more updates! In the meantime, have a good weekend!

There is a slight modification to the Secondary: Traditional Character Design. As many participants have requested for digital medium to be allowed, the category will now be called Secondary: Character Design and both traditional or digital medium can be used. Note that participants using digital medium need to submit a CD containing records of their work progress as a proof of not plagiarising.
