You know we love ‘em!
Tokyo Otaku Mode holds a figure photo contest twice a year, every spring and fall. Each time, the Grand Prize winner receives a $500 TOM Shop coupon!
This page offers an overview of previous Grand Prize winners. You'll also find links to explore our showcases of other winning entries from each past contest. Please enjoy admiring these incredible photos!
In recent contests, we've also added a special fan voting prize tier. The winners of this tier are determined by your votes—and all TOM members can vote, even if you didn't submit an entry yourself. You'll even get a few TOM Points afterward as a special thanks for participating.
We're excited to see your submissions in the next contest!
(Contest rules & information about how to enter will be listed in detail on each future contest page.)
