Greetings, Descendants!

The submission period for the 2025 Skin Contest, which began on May 12 (Mon), has been extended to allow for greater participation and creativity.
We hope this change will give all Descendants more time to finalize and submit their designs.

In addition, the award criteria for Descendant skins have been updated.
Instead of selecting finalists by gender categories (Men / Women / Unisex), all Descendant skin entries will now be reviewed under a unified selection format.
This update aims to reduce the burden on participants and encourage a wider range of creative submissions.

Please note that we have identified several entries that do not follow the official submission guidelines.
To be considered, entries must be submitted using the official template. Submissions consisting solely of screenshots or standalone illustrations without the template will not be eligible for finalist selection.

Please refer to the details below for full information on the schedule changes and award updates.

■ Updated Event Schedule

■ Award Criteria Changes

- If the number of submissions or qualified entries is limited, the number of finalists and winners may vary by category (Descendant / Fellow).
- If no entries meet the minimum finalist criteria in a specific category, no finalists may be selected for that category.

■ Submission Guidelines
- Please download the appropriate template based on the skin category you are entering and follow the instructions. [Guidelines] [Download Template]
- Submissions that include only screenshots or standalone images without the template will not be considered for finalist selection.

We look forward to your creative participation in the 2025 Skin Contest.

Thank you.
