FAQS
General
- No purchase needed to enter.
- Submissions via the Youkaimountain.com form will be reposted on YM Instagram and Twitter to maximize visibility.
- Contest is open to anyone from anywhere
Bootleg Fumo
- Originally, bootleg fumos were not going to be allowed for entry. However, the outpouring of support for the contest, and you all reminding me how difficult it can be to acquire fumo at certain points in life need made me reverse the decision. That being said, we are still thinking about this rule.
- One variation we might do is a category solely for bootlegs, but with an official fumo as the prize. But for now, bootlegs can be used for any category.
Int’l Winners
- Yes, we will pay for international shipping. Touhou is for the people. However, reserve the right to offer an alternate prize if shipping expense is truly ludicrous.
- You’re responsible for VAT and any custom fees in your country.
Fairness and Integrity
- We reserve the right to invalidate your entry in cases of:
- Cheating or attempted cheating
- Potential repetitional damage.
- No Youkai Mountain employees or their relations can enter the contest.
We are trying to do something positive and unifying for the community in good faith. We will lose money on this contest/giveaway. Please don’t mess it up for everyone.
