[Industry news] PUBG MOBILE launches the PDP European Fashion Design Contest, inviting players to have an opportunity to design the game’s next outfit

This is a press release posted alongside our usual editorial content.

PUBG MOBILE has announced the launch of the PDP European Fashion Design Contest, a creative competition organised as part of its PDP co-creation programme. Participants are invited to design an original outfit inspired by European urban fashion, with the opportunity to see their creation brought to life in the game. This PDP contest is being held to celebrate the global launch of PUBG MOBILE FLASH, the official lightweight version of PUBG MOBILE, today – November 13. All the info can be found on the official website.

A contest inspired by European streetwear

Participants are challenged to design a complete, original and distinctive outfit or skin, drawing inspiration from European urban fashion styles and influences. Each design must be presented from both the front and back, with particular attention paid to detail. AI-generated submissions will not be accepted.

Entries will be open from 11 November to 8 December 2026. The selection phase will take place from 9 to 16 December, followed by a public voting period running from 17 December to 9 January 2027. Winners will be announced between 10 and 17 January.

Eko Fresh joins the initiative

German rapper Eko Fresh will take part in the contest. A prominent figure in German-language hip-hop since the early 2000s, he first rose to prominence with the track Ich bin jung und brauche das Geld and his album Eksodus, which reached number one on the German charts in 2013. EkoFresh is a PUBGM ambassador actively involved in several collaborations. For this PDP contest, EkoFresh will collaborate with Mia (Tingilya) to design his own in-game skin and serve as a judge, with content released throughout the campaign. For FLASH, he has created a mini rap, tentatively scheduled for release soon.

A jury and a community vote

Submissions will be evaluated by a jury made up of design professionals, partner personalities and PUBG MOBILE representatives. Originality, execution quality and potential for integration into the game will all be taken into consideration.

The community will also have the opportunity to vote for their favourite designs. A special WEU Star award will recognise a creation voted for by players across Western Europe.

$21,400 in prizes up for grabs

The contest features a total prize pool of $21,400. The Gold, Silver and Bronze winners will receive $1,000, $600 and $400 respectively, alongside in-game rewards including a P.D.P outfit, UC and a co-creator title. Twenty Excellence Awards worth $200 each, as well as popularity awards, will also recognise other participants.

The winning design may also be developed into an official PUBG MOBILE outfit or skin and featured across the game’s social media channels, with its creator credited for their contribution.

For the first time, PDP expands from a single track to three tracks running in parallel offering more chances to win! Design students, content creators and players worldwide each compete in a track of their own:

• Open Track (global, public): open to all creators and players worldwide, with no restriction on professional background or social following.
• Invited Creator Track (WEU, invitation only): reserved for official partner creators: content creators, fashion creators and KOLs or KOCs.
• Invited Student Track (WEU, invitation only): reserved for students of official partner schools and institutions. Outstanding participants may receive internship recommendations.

How to enter & running time

The contest is open to everyone, with no professional experience or audience requirements. Each participant can submit up to three designs before 8 December 2026 at 23:59 UTC.

Entries can be submitted through the official contest website or directly in-game on launch via Lobby > Plus > Co-creation Hub > PDP.
