Porkbun Creative Competition 2026!

Welcome, Creatives

The Bun wants to see your big ideas.
We're here to inspire them!

Here at Porkbun, we've always believed that the internet belongs to everyone from the dreamers and builders, to the weird little projects that become the next big thing. We sell domain names, but what gets us out of the mud every morning is seeing what folks do with them. So we figured: why not make a whole competition out of it? Whether you're a designer, filmmaker, animator, general creative genius, or just a Porkbun fan who really loves a good pig pun, we want to see your work! This is your chance to flex your creative muscles, represent a brand that knows how to have fun, and gives us something to oink about. Ready? Keep reading below, and let's get this started.

The Challenge

"Reimagine the Porkbun Pig."

That's your brief. What you do with it is entirely up to you. Traditional, digital, or AI-assisted tools are all fair game. Here's what you need to know before you dive in:

🎬 Video or Audio
Max 3 minutes and 500MB. Use your lens, your voice, your oink — whatever tells the story.
✍️ Written or Text-Based
Max 1,500 words. Scripts, manifestos, stories — if it's got words, we'll read every last one.
🎨 Static Visual
Graphic design, illustration, photography — single image file, max 25MB. Make it snout-standing.

Your submission must be original work. It cannot be previously published, not a prior award winner, and not something you borrowed from the internet. All entries must be in English and uploaded in a format specified on the contest entry form.

What's at Stake

The prizes are pretty
oink-worthy.

🥇
First Prize
$2,000
🥈
Second Prize
$1,000
🥉
Third Prize
$500

All prizes awarded in the form of a check. Up to 50 honorable mentions will also receive a free Porkbun t-shirt.

Your Creative Starter Pack

The Porkbun Brand Toolkit
everything but the kitchen oink.

Before you dive in, grab the goods. We've put together an official Porkbun Brand Toolkit to help you make something that looks, sounds, and feels authentically Porkbun. Please use these assets thoughtfully and, most importantly, have an absolutely pig-nificent time. Think of it as your creative jumpstart.

🎨
Color Palette & Fonts
Porkbun Pink, Rich Gray, and Porkbun White. Museo Sans + Museo Slab. Keep it on-palette.
🐷
Logo Files
Vector (SVG/EPS) and PNG formats for every use case. No stretching. No recoloring. No sunglasses on the pig.
🗣️
Brand Voice Guide
Playful. Punny. Approachable. We love a good oink. Read the guide; then get weird with it.
🎵
Music Guidance
Royalty-free only, please. We explain exactly what that means and where to find the good stuff.
📋
Legal Disclaimers
The boring-but-important stuff. Read it. Know it. Love it (or at least tolerate it).

The Main Event

Ready to submit?
Don't be hammy, just do it!

You've got the vision. You've got the toolkit. Before you hit submit, there's one more step, please read the complete rules below before filling out the submission form. We want your entry to qualify, so a read-through is very important. Once you're rules-ready, follow the submission process and make it official.

The Fine Print (It's Not That Fine)

Rules of the Pen-sty.

Here's another look at the rules for the Porkbun Creative Competition. We've kept things simple, because great creative work shouldn't require a law degree to enter. We've put together the highlights here, but you need to review and follow the full rules page to read everything before clicking Agree and submitting your work.

🗓️ Eligibility
Open to residents of the United States who are 18 years of age and older. One submission per person, please. We love your passion, but we're looking for quality over quantity.
🎨 What to Submit
Original creative work showing us your vision for the future of our Porkbun mascot! Feel free to use the provided official Porkbun brand assets to create an image, video, or other acceptable file type for your submission. Check the full rules for eligible formats.
🐷 Brand Compliance
You may use official Porkbun assets and should stay true to the brand voice. Unauthorized logos, unlicensed music, or off-brand content will result in disqualification.
⚖️ Ownership & Rights
By entering, you grant Porkbun a license to share and promote your submission. If you win a prize, your submission becomes the property of Porkbun, either as a work made for hire or through a full assignment of rights, including copyright and trademark, worldwide. Full terms are in the complete rules.
🏆 Judging
Entries are evaluated on creativity, brand alignment, and execution. Our judges have the final word. No bribes, just bun-derful work that speaks for itself!
📅 Deadlines
All submissions must arrive by the stated deadline. Late entries won't be considered. The internet is fast, and so should your submission be.
