Voting is now open for the new fan-awarded prizes!
In TOM’s latest Figure Photo Contest, we’ve created an extra tier of prizes that will be decided by your votes! This means more opportunities to win—and more ways to join in, regardless of whether or not you submitted a photograph.
Plus, to show our appreciation for your participation, all voters will receive $5 TOM Points after contest winners are announced!
To vote, simply browse the selection of nominees shown above and tap or click to see your favorites close-up.
Then tap the heart button: it will say “Voted” once you’re done.
Feel free to vote for as many photos as you want!
Voting Rules & Details
- A TOM account is required to vote. (Photo contest entrants are also allowed to vote, if they wish.)
- You can vote for as many photos as you like! However, you can only vote once per individual photo.
- As a thank-you present, each person who votes for at least one photo will receive $5 TOM Points after the contest ends. Voting for multiple entries will not increase the amount of points received.
- Use of multiple accounts by the same individual may result in forfeiting all relevant votes and will disqualify them from receiving any thank-you points.
- The photos available for voting are nominees that have been selected by TOM’s judges from among the full pool of entries.
- Nominees will be displayed in a different randomized order to each viewer. (You may be also able to view nominees in a different order by using another browser or device.)
- The voting period will end at 11:59 pm January 20, 2026 (PDT).
- Fan Voting Prize winners will be announced within January 2026, together with the TOM Judge Prizes.
- Thank-you points will be granted to voters by the end of January 2026.

Your votes will decide these 3 special prizes!
After entries close, TOM’s judges will review all photo contest submissions and prepare a (still very large!)
list of nominees to proceed to the next round of judging. These nominees will also be eligible for the Fan Voting Prizes listed above!
- A TOM account will be required to vote.
- You’ll be able to vote for as many photos as you like!
- As a small thank-you present, each person who votes for at least one photo will receive $5 TOM Points after the contest ends.
(Voting for multiple entries will not increase the amount of points received.)
All fan voting winners will remain in consideration for the TOM Judge Prizes.
It may be therefore possible to win both a Fan Voting Prize and one of the TOM Judge Prizes with a single submission.
- Winners will be announced on this page & contacted via DM or email.
- All coupon prizes will be distributed by the end of January 2026.
- Thank-you points will also be distributed to eligible voters by the end of January 2026.
