Show us your creativity and help shape the Rippaverse. This 45-day community event is your chance to showcase your talent across art, music, and content creation — with prizes, recognition, and the chance to have your work seen by thousands of fans.
Whether you’re an artist, musician, or content creator, RippaFest Creator Season is your stage.
Participation is open to everyone and is not a job application. While it may lead to future creative opportunities, entering does not imply or guarantee employment with Rippaverse.
In the final week, the community takes the spotlight.
Fans will vote in the official Rippaverse Discord to choose the Community Choice Creator of the Season.
Prize: $500 cash or $1,000 store credit.
(If the winner already placed in another category, the runner-up receives the award.)

Music Contest
Your challenge: compose an original soundtrack inspired by a Rippaverse character of your choice.
