Vote Now: Sixth Annual Lost Ark Art Contest Kicks Off!

On the 7th, Smilegate RPG, the developer behind the MMORPG ‘Lost Ark,’ announced that they would begin voting for the final stage of the ‘2025 Lost Ark Art Contest.’ The contest offers a total prize pool of 55 million won.

The final votes will take place on the official ‘Lost Arc’ website during a one-week period starting from the 7th until the 14th. This vote concerns the 55 entries that advanced past the initial stages. Any adventurer who has reached Expedition Level 50 or above is eligible to participate in this voting process. However, within the ‘Avatar’ category—where votes are counted separately per class—you must possess a character with a Combat Level of 60 or more in the specific class you wish to support. For categories like pets and rides, which do not differentiate based on classes, anyone meeting the minimum Expedition Level requirement can cast their vote freely.

This year marks the sixth anniversary of the Lost Ark Art Contest, an important event where participants include many adventurers. Various rewards like cash prizes and exclusive ‘Lost Ark’ merchandise are offered to the victors, and top-winning pieces are eventually integrated into the game as in-game assets. The ultimate champion for this edition will be revealed on the 28th.

In the meantime, Smilegate RPG plans to host several events to celebrate both the conclusion of their art competition and Family Month in May. Starting with this initiative, they’ll conduct a daily login event up till June 4th, offering players essential items required for character progression each time they log into the game. Furthermore, based on how many days players connect cumulatively, extra incentives like legendary card packages will be awarded. Concurrently, from now until June 4th, participants can engage in a ‘Picnic Lunch Box Crafting’ activity.
