I came across this as a WP:G11 speedy, but I wouldn't say that it's unambiguous promotion. However the main issue is that I don't particularly see where this contest is notable enough for an article. There's very little coverage about the event and what is out there tends to be along the lines of local articles about various winners, primary sources, and offhand mentions or junk hits.

I'm open to a merge, but I'm not entirely sure where this would be merged to offhand. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 07:02, 24 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Hi. It is written like an advertisement optimized for Wikipedia. All sources are primary and affiliated. Compliance with the Notability requirements is categorically lacking. I tried looking for significant coverage in secondary sources that are independent of the subject itself. But I didn't find significant coverage.
