The fanart contest will cover only the visual arts, and participating artists may bring either a physical copy of the artwork to present at registration or send a high resolution PNG file to World Tour's dedicated email address by January 31st. For further information, see the DWT webpage.

January 7th, 2016. Fan event organizer Digimon World Tour reports that their first vendor of the Digimon Celebration event in Pittsburgh has signed on. Artist duo Ramen Bento will be joining the Celebration, selling Digimon magnets, stickers, art prints, and plush toys.

World Tour has further expanded on their previous announcement of Rumble tournaments at the Celebration; the organization is currently gauging interest in each game, to help determine which Rumble Arena games should have tournaments organized for that day. Currently All-Star Rumble is on the table, as the most recent and most accessible of the Digimon fighters. While tamers have been asked to bring their Digivices and virtual pets, any competitions for those toys will have to be organized the day of. No tournaments for the virtual pets can be guaranteed by World Tour due to their relative rarity.
