You've been waiting for it, and today is the big day! Twelvians, it's time for you and Skiny to get back in the action for this increasingly famous event. Whether you're familiar with the regular contests on our Discord server or you have the talents of a Bwork stylist, you are invited to this edition of Miss & Mister World of Twelve 2023.
After a hugely successful event last year, this edition will be an opportunity for you to be twice as creative. Starting today at 5 p.m. (Paris time), prove that you are worthy of representing the best the World of Twelve has to offer.
Soon you can take part in this three-round contest where the best-dressed adventurers will be rewarded. Your journey in search of aesthetic perfection will take you far beyond the lands of Albuera. Then put the spotlight on the beauty of the essential professions that drive the economy of the Krosmoz. Lastly, satisfy your ambitions of sovereignty in the lands of the World of Twelve by proving how easy it is for you to dress in noble fabrics.
Certain members of the Skiny team, supported by the ANKAMA Staff, will have the pleasure of looking over every one of your skins, from the coolest to the kookiest, in order to analyze and rate them. Their expert eyes will be on you throughout the contest – always in a friendly way, of course.
Set your headgear at a jaunty angle, put on your most striking cloak, grab your shield, and whistle for your traveling companion to take part in this incredible fashion adventure!
With enough discipline, boldness and originality, you could be the next Miss & Mister World of Twelve… It's up to you to brave the catwalk if you hope to win this much-coveted title and the crown that goes with it!

TERMS, CONDITIONS & RULES
We've listened to your feedback from last year's edition, and we've updated the contest rules accordingly:
- Only one entry per player is allowed. Modifying your entry is prohibited once it has been published.
- Your entry must be submitted in the forum with the account where your participating character is hosted or in the dedicated channel on the official DOFUS Touch Discord server.
- Changing your participating character's sex/class during the contest period is strictly prohibited.
- The screenshot must not include modifications of any kind (filters, added elements, etc.). Only trimming/cropping and zooming in on the screenshot are allowed.
- Only your character may be visible in the screenshot (no monsters, NPCs, other players, items on the ground, text, etc.).
- The screenshot must be taken on one of the game maps, outside of the character selection interface, outside of combat, without the grid visible, and with "Transparency" mode turned off.
- The use of emotes, auras, and fairyworks or other animations that may alter the correct visibility of your screenshot are prohibited.
- All entries must comply with the DOFUS Touch Terms of Use and the forum/Discord rules.
Violation of any of the rules will result in immediate disqualification. The jury also reserves the right to disqualify any entry with inadequate image quality.
We reserve the right to modify the rules at any time during the contest. Unless otherwise indicated by us, any such modifications will apply to the next round of the contest after the rules are modified, and they will be brought to your attention at the start of that round.
Prizes awarded will only be transferred to the account participating in the contest. No exchanges will be made between accounts.
How to Enter
No matter how you wish to submit your entry, it must be accompanied by a small caption indicating:
- your character's name,
- your player account nickname, and
- your game server.
If in doubt, you can get all this information by typing /whoami in the chat bar.
Then copy the output to your entry post.
To help our organizers, you can also indicate:
- your class and
- your character's sex.
F.A.Q.
How do I know if my entry matches the theme?
Themes are discussed and decided upon in advance by the SKINY team so that they will be broad enough to accept a wide variety of entries with a broad interpretation. Even though each judge has different tastes, we always come to an agreement as to whether an entry matches the theme.
Ask yourself if your equipment is consistent with what is asked for. Is the map you chose to host your character the right one for this round?
If you ever ask yourself these questions, you're probably sticking to the theme!
How do I know if my entry follows the rules?
Unfortunately, we can't examine everyone's entries, so that we can respond on a case-by-case basis.
Please reread the rules one last time before submitting your entry.
If, despite this, you feel that something is missing in the rules or is too abstract, you can contact Tofoufoux#8943 on Discord and accurately explain your request. We reserve the right not to respond if we feel that there is no need for us to intervene.
How do I know if my entry has been accepted?
If you take part on the forum under the most relevant round post, your entry will be automatically accepted as soon as it is posted.
If you take part via the DOFUS Touch Discord server, your entry will also be automatically accepted.
You may see reactions from SKINY team members below your entry. Please note that this does not necessarily mean that your entry fully meets the rules.
Think of it more as an acknowledgment of receipt!
I forgot to add my information (character, nickname, and server) before posting my entry. Can I modify it to add this information?
In order to ease the workload of the SKINY team and to enable scoring as each round progresses, it has been agreed that no modifications to entries are allowed (under penalty of being disqualified).
As a result, unfortunately, we cannot accept any modifications.
There are currently no time rifts that are powerful enough to take you back in time to when you were carefully reading the rules!
How do the scoring criteria work?
We have a precise set of scoring criteria that was provided to you in the post announcing the round. We distribute the score so that half of the points correspond to the most objective criteria possible. The other half of the points allows for free appraisal by the jury according to its own personal criteria. This subjective score then enables us to highlight the differences between two entries more effectively.
Everyone's tastes are different, so you may not agree with the jury's decision. We respect the jury, and we expect you to do the same!
How come an entry that I don't think matches the theme was selected?
As explained above, everyone's tastes are different. The whole jury consults on all entries to assess what matches – or does not match – the theme.
If you don't like an entry or if you think it doesn't match the round's theme, keep in mind that your are contributing to the diversity of opinion that makes the World of Twelve so rich.
I don't have many ceremonial items. Am I at a disadvantage?
It's a fact that the more experience you have in the game, the more equipment you have to don. However, we don't favor any kind of item based on its stats, rarity, or price…
You are assessed in the same way no matter how extensive your inventory is or how old your character is!
How do I find out the details of my entry's score?
Having to explain a score is a long and tedious task, especially since it is the average of all the jury's appraisals. Getting into reasoning and explaining would be like trying to fight Count Harebourg in a Gobball Set…
Therefore, we won't provide details about the participants' scores or the rounds' rankings.
However, the ANKAMA Staff takes great care to ensure that scoring is fair and that the winners are all approved by your favorite community managers!
I won a round but I haven't received my prizes. What should I do?
Prizes are distributed manually by the ANKAMA teams. Don't worry if you haven't received them yet – they will soon be yours!
IN CLOSING
The lights and machinery are ready – the stage is just waiting for you to shine…
