Konica Minolta Digital Art Competition 2026: Winners Announcement

Konica Minolta is honored to announce the winners of the Digital Art Competition. This year’s contest centered on the theme, “2030: How AI, Innovative Technology, and Robotics Empower Different Fields?”, exploring the immense opportunities that artificial intelligence and advanced technology bring to various industries while highlighting the critical role of innovation in shaping the future. Participants leveraged AI tools and technology to create their vision of limitless possibilities within six key sectors: Smart Campus, Smart Office, Smart Dining, Smart Retail, Smart Healthcare, and Smart Property Management. This year’s competition received a remarkable number of submissions showcasing diverse creative styles using AI technology. Among the many entries, the following were selected as the Champion, First Runner-up, and Second Runner-up. These outstanding works illustrate how AI is shaping the future—from automating processes, fostering creativity, and enhancing efficiency to redefining the way we live, work, and interact. Champion AI Tools: Gemini Description: 2030年，AI度身機械人進駐智能零售時裝店。顧客站在3D鏡頭前，秒速掃描身形，AI即時生成虛擬試穿，並自動建議改衣方案（例如改褲長、收腰）。確認後，機械臂於30分鐘內完成修改，即場交貨。這項服務結合網購便利與實體貼身體驗，徹底解決尺碼不合問題，締造零退貨購物體驗。即使小店也能提供媲美高級訂製的服務，零售從此「貼心與效率兼備」。 First Runner-up AI Tools: DeepSeek, Gemini Description: My submission envisions a smart school campus in 2030. Students no longer need to carry heavy textbooks. Instead, they use interactive digital tablets in class. These devices can display vivid 3D images, play immersive educational videos, and integrate AI assistants that answer questions in real time, making lessons to be more interesting. Moreover, learning content is constantly updated. Friendly AI panda robots act as teachers, guiding students through complex subjects, especially in science, where they encourage hands-on experiments in virtual labs. These robots adapt to each student’s pace, ensuring no one is left behind. Additionally, students can explore their personal interests through the AI Knowledge Tree, a dynamic, interactive display that grows like a real tree. By touching a branch, students dive into topics they love. The tree responds with fascinating videos and tailor-made content, making self-directed learning both enjoyable and effective. Second Runner-up AI Tools: Gemini, Microsoft 365 Copilot Description: 本作品聚焦「智能物業管理」場景 。視覺核心展現 AI 透過自動化灌溉與全息監測，實現隱形且高效的環境維護 。這種技術賦能讓物業轉化為有溫度的載體：畫中長者與護理機械人在綠色天台對弈，象徵 AI 承接繁瑣勞務後，人類得以回歸情感連結 。背景融合科幻與傳統天際線，深刻演繹 2030 年科技與人文共融的未來面貌 。 In addition to the top three winners, the judging panel has selected 10 Merit Award recipients. Winners will be notified individually via email and presented with an e-certificate in recognition of their achievements. Konica Minolta congratulates the winners and extends heartfelt thanks to all participants for their contributions and efforts. Looking ahead, Konica Minolta will continue to drive innovation with AI-powered solutions, empowering businesses to seize opportunities in digital transformation and supporting industries in meeting the challenges of the future.
