3D Print Model Challenge - Halloween Creations

Design Challenges are back — and this time we’re celebrating the spookiest season of the year! With great excitement, we announce the Halloween 3D Print Challenge on CGTrader.

This October, we invite all 3D creators, makers, and hobbyists to design, 3D print, and share your most fun, spooky, or magical 3D print-ready models.

We’ve seen a growing trend in the community: 3D printable models are more popular than ever, and Halloween is the perfect theme to bring creativity to life! This challenge is open to everyone, no matter your background — from experienced 3D designers to makers who simply love to experiment with their printers.

Our panel of judges is comprised of experienced 3D professionals from CGTrader.

Quality of the Printed Make – The photo of the actual printed object is the most important element of the entry.
Presentation – Renderings are optional, but if included, they should be clear and visually appealing. Good descriptions and relevant tags also help during the judging process.

Community Favorite

Frequently Asked Questions

Please go through these questions before contacting us

1. Do I need to upload files or only images of my 3D design?

You must upload a 3D print–ready file and at least one photo of your physical print (make) in order to participate.

2. Are renderings required?

No. The most important part of your entry is the photo of the printed make. Renderings are optional, but if you include them, make sure they are clear and well-presented.

3. Do I lose copyright to my 3D print file after uploading?

No. You always retain copyright to your model. Buyers cannot claim ownership of your design. CGTrader licenses (General, Editorial, Custom) give you control over how your file can be used.

4. How can I participate in the challenge?

Create a CGTrader account.
Accept the Terms & Conditions.
Upload your original 3D print–ready model.
Add at least one photo of the make.
Tag it with halloween-challenge when uploading.

5. What if I tag one of my old models with “halloween-challenge”?

That won’t count. Only models uploaded between October 7 – November 5, 2025 will be considered valid entries.

6. Do free 3D models qualify for the challenge?

Yes! Free entries are welcome and judged equally.

7. Can I enter with 3D print models that participated in other contests elsewhere?

Yes, as long as the model hasn’t been previously uploaded to CGTrader. Only new uploads to our platform qualify.

8. Does the price I set for my model affect judging?

No. Judging is based on creativity, printability, and presentation, not the price.

9. Can I delete an older model and re-upload it to meet the “publishing period” requirement?

No. We track deleted and re-uploaded models. Only new, original entries uploaded during the challenge dates are valid.

10. Can I submit more than one entry?

Yes! You can upload as many models as you like, as long as each one meets the rules.

11. What is the Community Favorite award and how is it chosen?

The Community Favorite prize ($200) will be awarded to the model that receives the most hearts from the CGTrader community on the model page.

12. Do I need verification to receive prizes?

Yes. Winners will be required to complete our standard verification process (KYC) before prize payouts. This is a routine step for all CGTrader users to confirm your account and ensure rewards are distributed securely.
