PTK Deadline: November 20
Hello and thank you all for your patience as we decide the structure and schedule for PTK in 2017.
As a group we have discussed the practicality of many options, and have finally settled upon a POST CARD COMPILATION. This involves you, our participants, either purchasing OR designing a postcard and writing a birthday message to Kakki on the back.
If purchasing a postcard:
We ask you choose a design that represents your country.
When all postcards are collected, we believe this will be a unique feature in showing our support as overseas fans in particular; we anticipate that our support will be effectively conveyed from all around the world.
Please leave a 1.5 cm margin along the top of your postcard (landscape) or on the left side (portrait) for binding. Please see below:
If designing your postcard:
As usual, you are free to draw/create anything you wish.
In the past, artwork entries have always been of Kakki/his characters, if anyone needs some guidance
This can be done digitally using software or traditionally with pens, pencils, markersーwhatever you are comfortable with!
Paper colour is up to your liking.
Preferably choose a thicker paper (for example, 140gsm or 210gsm) to provide structure, and to also match with the store-bought postcards. Craft cardboard should also be adequate.
If drawing digitally and printing, perhaps see if nearby printers have these paper options available. But please do not stress your wallet if not!
Once again, please refer to the above dimensions when making :)
Need more space to write or draw?
If you find that one postcard is not sufficient enough space, you may also send in up to 2 separate sheets of paper of the same dimensions as your postcard (double-sided allowed). Please make sure the sizes match!
This year, the postcards will be compiled by @lost-in-hibernation
As per usual, please message her once you have finished your postcard and are ready to send. She will then reply with her address privately and you are welcome to send. We hope you understand that this is for privacy reasons.
Please put your postcard in a mailing envelope first, then write the mailing address ON THE ENVELOPE, AND NOT ON THE POSTCARD TO KAKKI.
You are welcome to write “To Kakihara Tetsuya/柿原徹也様” on the postcard itself, where the address normally goes, but please do not write lost-in-hibernation’s Australian address on the postcard!
Kakki doesn’t need that aha
Q) I am unable to physically mail my postcard to you. What should I do?
A) As usual, we will be accepting online submissions. Please scan and email your postcard to us at [email protected]
However, we ask that this only be for people who have designed their own postcard. We do not quite see the need to scan and reprint a store-bought postcard, but please feel free to message us if this is the case and we can discuss! :)
The deadline for sending in your post cards is November 20, which leaves ample time to collect and compile everything. We hope to mail it to Japan in early December, so look forward to everyone’s contributions! Thank you for reading!
