PUBG MOBILE Launches Classic Design Contest with $60,000 Prize

PUBG MOBILE has begun its second PDP Classic Themed Design Contest, and the total prize money sits at $60,000 this time. Both players and artists can send in their own costumes or companion designs. If chosen, some of them may even end up added to the game later. The submission period opened on June 20, 2025, and it’s going to run until August 18.

This round focuses mainly on revisiting PUBG Mobile’s first style. Participants are expected to think simply and stay close to how the game looked in the beginning. Modern or futuristic stuff doesn’t belong here, so those ideas won’t be accepted. Submissions must include one full costume, both front and back views, and also one accessory, like a helmet or a throwable backpack. All of these are compulsory.

PUBG MOBILE 2nd PDP Classic Themed Design Contest Rules and Submission Guidelines

Designs have to be completely original and follow the laws of the country you’re in. AI tools or generated assets are not allowed at all. People can use whatever drawing software they’re used to, but they should keep source files with layers and also a short timelapse video in case it’s needed to prove work was original.

The official design template must be used. Alongside the visual, creators need to mention their name, creator ID, and a short explanation for their idea. Format must be JPG in 1920×1080 resolution, under 10MB file size. Each person can submit up to five entries; more than that or using extra accounts will likely get spotted.

A panel made of producers, art directors, and PUBG MOBILE’s own creatives will check the submissions first. Ones that pass this phase will be shortlisted as finalists. Winners will then be selected by the same judging group.

There’s also going to be a popularity prize, which comes from public voting. Voting will be checked carefully to prevent cheating or fake numbers. Any vote manipulation might get someone disqualified. Participants can follow progress via in-game messages, the Co-Create section, or the Discord server.

What Judges Are Looking For

Originality, fresh ideas that stand apart from clothing already sold
Quality smooth lines, balanced colours, and clear theme connection
In Game Fit, proper proportions and easy readability during play
Style Alignment, looks that sit naturally beside the present PUBG MOBILE assets. For an example of how crossover aesthetics blend well with gameplay, see how Transformers are going to be introduced in PUBG MOBILE.
