Nestingtide 2026 Design Contest Winners!

Hello Magibuns Community!

Thank you so much to everyone who participated in the Nestingtide Design a Trait Contest. The creativity, artistry, and passion you all brought to the table made judging an incredibly tough but wonderful task!

Before we dive into the results, we want to share a quick note on how the winners were selected. Each design was reviewed to ensure it matched our contests rules (such as no AI). From there, every entry was sent to our Team Design Lead without any names revealed.

The designs were chosen based on what was creative and interesting artistically. The focus was on the quality of the design and concept rather than the technical quality of the art itself. To keep things fair and ensure as many of our talented community members as possible have a chance to take home the exclusive prize Magibuns, we made sure that individuals could only be selected for the top winning spot once across both the Coat and Eye contests.

Without further ado, here are our amazing winners!

Please bear with us regarding the timeline for the rewards and exclusive Magibuns prizes for our grand prize winners. Digitally crafting these new traits takes quite a bit of time. We will distribute your prizes as soon as the traits are fully finalized and ready to go. We deeply appreciate your patience while we bring your designs to life!

The Runner Up Prizes will be handed out during May. We are currently working on a new consumable that will be a part of your winning prize, and we can't wait to share it with you!
