Design a Blook Contest is an official event where students create an original character called a Blook. Participants draw their design on paper and submit it for review. One Grand Prize winning design is selected and turned into an official Blook. This Blook is professionally illustrated by the Blooket art team and released in May. After release, millions of players can collect and use the Blook in different game modes. The contest also includes multiple honorable mention winners selected by the Blooket team.

Who Can Enter
The contest is open to students from Kindergarten to Grade 12 in any country. Entry does not require advanced drawing skills. The selection focuses on creative ideas rather than polished artwork. Any student who can imagine and draw a character can participate in the contest.
How to Enter
Participants must first draw an original Blook by hand on a physical surface such as paper. They can use any medium, including pencil, crayons, markers, or paint. After completing the drawing, they must take a clear photo or scan of the artwork and upload it through the official submission form. Each entry must include a name for the Blook and a short explanation describing the idea or inspiration behind the design. All submissions are reviewed by the Blooket team, and winners are selected without public voting.
Prizes
The contest includes one Grand Prize winner and multiple honorable mention winners. Honorable mention winners are featured on Blooket social media and receive a special in-game reward along with a Blooket Plus subscription, which can be assigned to the winner, a parent or guardian, or a teacher. The Grand Prize winner receives a professionally illustrated version of their Blook, an official in-game release in May, a featured spotlight story on the Blooket website, and bonus in-game rewards. The Grand Prize also includes a Blooket Plus Group Plan for the winner’s school, along with all rewards given to honorable mention winners. Prize details may vary depending on the winner’s location and service availability.
Timeline
The submission period begins on April 10 and ends on April 30. After the submission period closes, the Blooket team reviews all entries. Winners are announced in early May. The Grand Prize Blook is officially released later in May.
