The Education profile Sferum has announced the launch of an all Russia creative competition inviting school and college students to craft their own sticker packs for education profile chats in VK Messenger. Alongside the contest, a series of master classes will be offered in June, featuring experienced illustrators who will share practical tips, techniques, and hands on guidance to help young creators develop distinctive and expressive stickers. The competition opens for entries and participation details in mid spring, with a generous window for submissions through the month of June.
Participants are encouraged to visit VKontakte and post their sticker designs on their personal pages or within communities managed by educational organizations. Each entry should include a concise note explaining how the proposed sticker pack would enhance and enrich conversations with teachers and classmates in messenger chats. The use of the hashtag MySferum is required to collect and curate the entries, fostering a lively, collaborative atmosphere among students nationwide.
Judges will select ten winners and recognize participants across several special categories to spotlight outstanding creativity and concept. Prize categories focus on a distinctive sticker pack character, a clear and inventive explanation of the sticker pack idea, and a compelling storytelling element embedded within the collection. Winners will receive a VK smart speaker Capsule Neo featuring the Marusya voice assistant and a drawing set to spark further artistic exploration. This announcement is issued by VK.
Selected sticker packs will be added to branded sticker collections within the education profile on VK Messenger, expanding access for students in classrooms and study groups. Later in the year, the best designs will be distributed to schoolchildren across the country, providing learners with a fresh and engaging way to communicate with peers and instructors as part of daily digital interactions.
