Hello everyone!

As you know, voting for the contest’s trophies and medals wrapped up earlier this week and the staff are currently in the process of getting the award banners made for the winners, wrapping entry evaluations, and figuring out the logistics of a results ceremony for this year’s contest! One of the bigger, justified critiques of the 2025 and 2024 contests is that publishing a drip-feed of results through Twitter and BlueSky threads is God awful, so we won’t be doing that this year.

If possible, we are planning to do some kind of results presentation livestream this Saturday, November 7th at some point in the afternoon/evening for most participants. However, this is going to depend a lot on staff availability to host and moderate during the stream, which is not a sure thing. If it looks like this is not going to happen, we will simply drop the text results here and distribute banners, evaluations, and the feedback form no later than Monday, November 9th.

Apologies for not making mention of this sooner; we’ve been a bit caught up in ceremony preparations since the contest wrapped up because we really want to bring some of the old magic back, but if there’s not enough time or availability, then we’ll plan ahead for next year.

Stay tuned for further updates!
