DESIGN CONTEST HALL OF FAME: The winners of the last 9 years

Since 2010, hundreds of creative minds from the gaming community have been submitting their designs for the annual gamescomwear Design Contest. The jury, consisting of representatives of the game - association of the German games industry, Koelnmesse and the long-standing designers of gamescomwear, will review and evaluate all entries according to the criteria of creativity, originality and topicality. The various winning motifs of the artists will be immortalized as exclusive and limited T-shirts and will then be available for purchase by the community for a short period of time.

We present you the best and most creative designs of the last nine years!

In 2010, the first year of the competition, the brilliant motif "BLUE SUN" by Dominik Bläsius prevailed against the second and third place Mano Carnuto and Claudia Böhmcker.
