Contest Rules

Last updated: 2026-11-09

These rules apply to every skin contest on PickaxeKit: the official weekly contest and community jams. A contest page may add its own rules (for example a colour palette); those win where they differ.

Entering

  • Entering is free. You need a free account.
  • One entry per player per contest, unless the contest says otherwise.
  • Your entry must be a skin you published after the contest started, made by you, following the community rules.
  • You can withdraw while entries are open. After the deadline, entries are locked.

Review

Before voting, moderators check entries. Copies, rule-breaking skins and off-theme spam are disqualified.

Voting

  • Voting is by duels: two entries side by side, and you pick the one that fits the theme better. Up to 30 duels a day.
  • To vote you need an account at least 7 days old, level 3 or higher, and a verified email. You never see your own entry.
  • Votes from more experienced players count a little more (level 10+: 1.25×, level 20+: 1.5×).
  • Scores stay hidden until results, so nobody can see who is winning.

Fair play

Before results, votes are checked. Votes are voided when several accounts on one network back the same entry, when two entrants keep voting for each other, or when a burst of new accounts votes for one entry. The results page says how many votes were voided. Cheating can lead to disqualification and a ban.

Results and prizes

  • Entries are ranked by an Elo rating built from the remaining duel votes.
  • The top 3 get gold, silver and bronze trophies; every other valid entry gets a participant trophy. Trophies show on your profile and give XP.
  • Prizes are trophies, badges and XP only. There are no cash prizes, and nothing is ever sold.

Community jams

Players at level 15 and up can propose a jam. An admin reviews it before it goes live. The host follows these rules too and can't vote in their own jam's duels for their own entry.
