2026 ANNUAL DESIGN CONTEST
Our contest runs from 2/1/26 through 3/31/26
WINNERS ANNOUNCED April 6, 2026
HOW TO ENTER:
1.) At the top of this page under PRINTABLES there are 2 different templates to choose from. Print whichever one you like, and draw your very own character! The more detailed version does not increase your chances of winning.
2.) 1) This is an ALL AGES contest. It is not about the best DRAWING- it’s about the most creative idea for an octopal. Here's an example of why it is all ages:
A 5 year old child might have a GREAT idea for a octopal but not be able to draw it out, and a 25 year old adult could draw very well, so it would be unfair.
3.) Each participant may submit ONE drawing.
4.) If your drawing requires explanation; draw arrows and lines to point out what things are like wings or details and write notes next to them.
5.) Give your octopal a name! Write your octopal’s name at the top along with your NAME and AGE.
6.) Email drawing to: Lisamarie@scatterbraintoys.com with subject line “DESIGN CONTEST” (photo or scan is fine!)
