With today being Christmas and the end of the year inbound, I felt it would be appropriate to write a new post for an update on the Key 15th Anniversary Letter Project. For those who are unfamiliar with the project, the Key 15th project is an effort to reach out to Key with a collection of fan messages, letters, and illustrations to showcase international fan support of their works.
Ever since submissions opened this past August, a number of dedicated Key fans from different parts of the world have sent in short messages and letters to express their appreciation to Key. These submissions represent fans from a variety of locations (Brazil and Vietnam to name a few) that are not within the official reach of Key and Visual Art’s, and reinforces our goal to display the cultural diversity among fans who share a common gratefulness for Key’s works and their effects on our lives. I am also pleased to announce that a number of translation groups and individuals have given their support to the project by helping spread awareness of the project, and that the number of new submissions have risen as a result of their efforts.
Nevertheless, to better represent the influence and reach of Key’s works and the proportion of their fans, the Key 15th Project remains in need of more submissions. With the holiday season ongoing, I would like to encourage fans of Key’s titles to participate in the project. If you would like to participate, you can submit a Key-themed artwork, image, letter, or even just a simple, short message expressing your gratitude; project volunteers will do their best to translate these contributions. You can also help by simply spreading the word about the project to your friends or even just republishing this post. Participation in any form will be much appreciated.
To end my post, I would like to conclude with a short quote from Tomoyo After that I think reflects the project’s aims quite well—
Before I realised it, a lot of people had gathered in the kitchen to make sweets, and they were all smiling.
May everyone have a happy Christmas.

Oh right, will get around to putting my stuff up soooooooooooon. Just have to get my Air DVDs back from a friend for a photo.
Do you know when submissions will close? I want to do a musical piece but I won’t have access to decent recording equipment until mid to late January.
Submissions will remain open until around April.
I will submit a message for sure! I am a big fan of Key’s works and especially Air, it made me feel powerful emotions, completing my life once more…
I was thinking about submitting something, but I would like to know how I can be assured that if I do, this will really take place. I don’t want to just give out a license to my image without being positive it won’t be used for a personal gain and such.
We already have someone lined up to lay out the prints for the book, translators (including myself) ready to help, and some money set aside for printing and shipping costs. I can also assure you that none of the submissions will be used for personal profit. I am thinking about making the “yearbook” available to everyone in some capacity (likely as a PDF), though
Breaking news (for those that didn’t know already anyway, like me): Visual Arts is apparently working on an official Little Busters! EN translation for iOS, and have already released one for Planetarian.

Do you know what this means?
No way you could know of course, but I’ve actually already posted about this 4 days ago, in a post right above yours, but for some reason the moderators haven’t looked at it yet, so nobody but me and the moderators can see it…Really annoying…So once (if) it finally gets through, we’ll have a set of double posts about the same thing, making one redundant…I blame the mods for being lazy/too slow…I don’t understand why they immediately approved your comment but not mine though…
I suspect Cloud668 is the primary moderator. Regardless, this news just further solidifies the importance of this project. If Key’s fans clamor for English VN translations directly from Key, there is a good chance they will be willing to sell them.
In other words, keep your submissions coming! lol
Posts are usually approved automatically, but you had two links in it, and WordPress held it off for that. I also pay much, much more attention to the submission wiki than over here, so I kind of missed it. :/
Ah, I see.
