Battleon Barbae Contest Winners!

Announcing the Winners of our #NationalBarbieDay Screenshot Contest

Happiest of days, heroes! We had over 100 amaaaaazing entries in our “Battleon Barbae” Screenshot Contest to celebrate #NationalBarbieDay. Each entry showcased creativity, style, and a true passion for fashion, so it was hard narrowing down our winners. Luckily, “narrowing down” means we could ONLY choose like 40+ players 🤣

Since we have so many winners, head on over to the Battleon Barbae Contest Winners design notes post on Artix.com to see all the winning screenshots! Fair warning though: slow page load speeds ahead 🐌

Barbae on,
Beleen, the judges, and the AQW team :D
