We apologize for the delay to announce the winners. We adjusted the way scores of winners are calculated thanks to suggestions from this post and our Q&A, which is what caused the delay.
We were blown away by how many people entered for Chika! We didn't expect that many entries, and we loved them all so, so much that we decided to add 2 extra winners: we usually crown 4 winners, but 6 of you will get prizes for Chika Fan Awards! Thank you everyone!!
The winners of 2019 Takami Chika Fan Awards are...
Voted top "Effort"!
- nija ☆ (School Idol Tomodachi staff): "your love for Chika and what she means to you really came through! I especially love the letter to her, but also the collage - that must have taken a long time, but the result is wonderful to look at and it's great to see all those Chika-chis at once. plus, the cake and the birthday banner make it feel like an actual birthday party!"
- PizzaHutte (Donator): "The letter was very nice."
- kyuchiin☆ (Member of the judges panel, Starlight Academy staff, Graphic designer): "This entry shows great passion and effort, by showing their shrine, personal letter to Chika, graphic edit of all of Chika's cards and cake♡"
- rubylovebot (Member of the judges panel): "i love how much love they have for chika. the letter was so beautifully written, and they did an amazing job at sharing their feelings for chika!"
- julia (Member of the judges panel, Donator): "This person showed their adoration for Chika in multiple different ways! A web page telling their story of discovering her, a collage of her SIF cards, a heartfelt letter decorated in a very Chika-style color palette. I could definitely feel their passion through those different images!"
- pandavodkachuu (Asteria) (Graphic designer): "This entry really stands out thanks to the crazy amount of effort they put into their post! Not only did they do what they can to make their entry lovely and presentable, they also poured in a lot of work to make graphics for Chika and a little birthday shrine with a cake! Not only that, their passion for Chika really stands out through their words. You can tell how much Chika really means to them."
- Fratturobot (Developer): "While it's normal to find entries with well-written messages, pretty art/edits, or well-staged birthday celebrations, but it's rare to find one that contains such strong examples of all three simultaneously. Rinon has done an excellent job of conveying how important Chika is to her."
- Yumi (Member of the judges panel): "A very organized and pretty post with lots of love oozing from it"
- caps (Developer), zippo / mspaint / Marie (School Idol Tomodachi staff, Graphic designer, Developer) and Miss (Member of the judges panel) also liked this entry.

- nija ☆ (School Idol Tomodachi staff): "I absolutely love how passionate this entry is about Chika! your love for her truly came through and I even teared up a little reading through it. I believe you in a heartbeat that she's a positive influence on your life and the way you talk about her and cherish her makes me love her a little more, too. I especially like the quotes you picked out to shine a light on! I also love that you sang for her and the cake you made for her, too; it made it feel a little more like a birthday party and I like that a lot. a love letter that shines almost as brightly as Chika does!"
- nozomiinotic (Member of the judges panel): "It's so sweet to see how much of an impact Chika has had on you, MeiLovsChika! I can tell that a lot of heart was put into this entry! And although you said english was not your main language, your message was very clear! You'll do great with voice acting, i'm sure!"

Voted top "Passion"!
- nozomiinotic (Member of the judges panel): "Azeku, you did a great job of explaining how Chika inspired you! It was very heartwarming to read this- and it's great that she encouraged you to follow your dreams! I wish you the best of luck with your future endeavors and welcome to Sukutomo! "
- Memoly (School Idol Tomodachi staff): "I was touched by their story and truly felt their passion for Chika"
- pandavodkachuu (Asteria) (Graphic designer): "Out of all the entries in the giveaway, I feel like this entry stood out the most through the person's raw passion. It's not graphics-heavy or even merch-heavy, but the extent to how much this person genuinely loves and looks up to Chika more than makes up for this. It is a delight to hear how much Chika made an impact in their life and drove them to continue trying until they reached their own success. The art is really cute as well! Very well-made given they seem to just be starting out with drawing."
- Yumi (Member of the judges panel): "A post brimming with lots to say about Chika, a very passionate approach"
- Honk_Angel (Graphic designer), Aoi (Starlight Academy staff, Translator), PsyGemKo (Member of the judges panel) and Tokimeki (Artist, Graphic designer, Translator) also liked this entry.
- Hoshino☆ (Member of the judges panel, School Idol Tomodachi staff): "Their story on how they can love and relate to Chika using their own life experiences really touched me! It’s inspiring that Chika was able to become a real-life model for someone using lessons (like growing from failure) that will last them a lifetime. Their descriptive writing really captivated me, but gosh the drawing is adorable too!"
