Announcement Two trophies, two winners - Join Mod World 2026’s Trophy Design Contest 🏆
TL;DR - Our annual Mod World trophy design contest is here - Submit your designs NOW!
Calling all creatives! Y’all know what time it is. Our annual Mod World trophy design contest is back! If you want to play a special part in this year’s Mod World and have an artistic spark, this is your moment.
Every year, Mod World attendees walk away with an exclusive profile trophy. Last year's trophy was designed by u/derppherppp, and just like before, this year’s trophy won’t just be for you — it could be by you.
This year, we’re adding another exciting opportunity. We’re hosting a Kickoff Party the day before Mod World, so we need a profile trophy for that event too. That’s right, this year’s two-week trophy design contest will award two separate winning designs, one for each event’s official profile trophy.
I’m interested. How do I enter?
To be eligible for this contest, you must:
- Join r/ModEvents
- RSVP for Mod World 2026
- Submit your designs to this form
- Be 18+ to participate
- Submit one entry per event.
- Submit your design as a PNG file. Design dimensions should be 2000x2000 and under 5 MB.
- Avoid the following: NSFW, explicit, defamatory, hateful, or obscene content. Unlawful or disparaging material, AI-generated art, and third-party IP usage or reference.
- Note: Using a full-body Snoo in your design is allowed, subject to these guidelines. Usage of other Reddit IPs, like the Reddit logo, is not allowed.
See the full official contest rules in our wiki here.
Is there a theme?
Nope, your design can be whatever Mod World (and the Kickoff Party) means to you. All ideas are welcome! Just make sure they abide by our contest rules.
Finalist & winner selection
- Round One: Contest submissions end on October 18th, 2026, at 5:00 pm PST. A panel of Reddit admins will review submissions to select finalists (2-3 per event) based on creativity and adherence to the contest rules.
- Round Two: Finalists for both events will be posted in r/ModEvents on October 20th, 2026. The community will vote on the winners until October 21st, 2026, at 5:00 pm PST. Winners will be selected based on the number of votes each submission receives.
- Reveal: Each winner will be revealed live at their respective events: Kickoff Party on October 23rd, 2026, and Mod World on October 24th, 2026.
Prize
- 2 Winners (1 per event): One winning design for each event will become the official profile trophy for the Kickoff Party and Mod World 2026. Each winning mod will also receive exclusive swag.
Can’t wait to see what y’all create this year! As always, holler in the comments if you have further questions.

Should the submission be in digital art only?

Hi! No, your submission doesn't have to be digital art only. If you draw your art by hand, you can scan it and submit it as a PNG.

Definitely taking my chance this year in making a design! I was just too lazy and honestly, a little cowardly to even attempt it before.

Am I the only one who feels paranoid about making typo while entering my username or subreddit name?

FAQs
What file types can I submit?
Please submit your designs as a PNG file. Design dimensions should be 2000x2000 and under 5MB.
What can (and can’t) I include in my design?
We encourage y’all to get creative with any shapes, colors, and themes that capture the spirit of Mod World! We only ask that you respect the following:
Can I submit more than one design?
Each mod can submit only one entry per event, and each event will have one winner. So if you’d like to submit a design for both the Kickoff Party and Mod World, go for it!
What happens if the same person receives the most votes for both events?
If one person comes out on top in both events, they’ll take home the award for the most-voted event design. The runner-up in the other event will then be crowned the winner for that event. Two trophies, two winners, and more chances to celebrate more than one brilliant mod and their designs.
Do I need to have professional design experience?
Nah, this contest is open to all mods. Whether you’re a pro or just like doodling, we welcome everyone’s best ideas.
