Get Your Character On!

Whip out your pens, tablet styluses, and Photoshop because Infinite’s having a “Character Contest”!

Partnering with Google+, Infinite is hosting an online competition from February 8^th to March 7^th in which you get to draw the members as “characters”, then upload your drawing on your Google+ page with the tag #INFINITECharacter, where people can share/ vote on it. Winners will be announced in March 12^th, with first place winning 1,000,000 won (approximately $910), second place winning 500,000 won (approximately $460), and third place winning 300,000 won (approximately $270). There will also be a “Special Reward” of Nexus 7 tablets given to “7 lucky winners”.
