Hi everyone! I'm here today to announce the skins! skinning competition!
This competition is not gameplay focused, but is more focused on the aesthetics of the skin, though it does need to be playable.
There is no entrance fee, and everyone is welcomed to join, we only have a few requirements:

  1. You must save at least 10 elements from your skin in their original format(.psd / .ai / etc) with the layers still intact.
  2. You must not use any outside images in your skin, this must be fully original!
  3. You must make every element of your skin for this competition, you may not use anything you've made before for anything other than a reference.
  4. You must stick to the theme(Marine Life & Oceans).
  5. You must skin at least all menu elements + all standard gameplay elements. You are not required to skin other gamemodes, but it may help you win the competition if you do.
Judging will take place the day after the entries have been closed. The winners will be announced May 1st.
The winners will be picked via these means:


1) The skins! staff team will look through all of the skins and pick their top 10 based primarily on looks, and secondarily on playability.
2) Those 10 skins will be listed in a poll on our website, everyone can vote once.
3) The most voted for skin at the end of the poll will be the 1st place winner, 2nd and 3rd place will be picked by the skins! staff team.
4) Winners will be contacted via discord/osu! PMs/whichever form of contact they list on their submission.

Why should you join our competition? Well, other than it being free to enter, the top 3 skins will be reviewed on our channel and given prizes!


The theme is Marine Life and Oceans, skinners have 2 weeks to get the skin finished and submitted to the link provided in the theme announcement video.
We hope to see some amazing work out of all of you!


We also have a discord server where you can talk to other skinners and the competition organizers if you need help with anything.

Textures are fine as long as you make them your own in some discernible way and link your source in your submission.

:thinking: Guess you can re-sell the tablet or gift it to someone? I have no idea. :p In the event that a strictly mouse>tablet player wins and doesn't want the tablet, I'm sure they could negotiate something with the 2nd place winner to maybe trade prizes(minus the support length, of course).

User voting for #1 is not a good idea. The winner will be chosen not by people but by bots or by who has the largest community.

Vote manipulation has been accounted for, the skinners' identities will be anonymous until the winners are announced.

Good thing!
I'm in anyway :p I think there should be official skinning competitions, like the beatmap ones ; the winners would be added to the base game pack
Would be cool since, let's face it, the base skin is not that great.

The theme will be announced in about 13 hours. You must skin according to that theme.

The skin must be 100% original and all the elements made by you. You may reference an image or have inspiration from it, but tracing/plagiarism is strictly forbidden. Textures may be used to an extent.

No, you'll be skinning this alone.

Except those people are going to know who made what skin because they probably already saw it in production lol. On another note, how are brushes treated in this ruleset?
