Snow Miku 2026 Nendoroid design confirmed as contest winner revealed
The winner of the 2026 Snow Miku costume design contest has officially been announced.
The contest is held annually to select a design to be turned into a Nendoroid figure and to be featured at the SNOW MIKU 2026 festival in Hokkaido.
The winning design will also be featured on a wide range of Snow Miku 2026 themed merchandise, which will be revealed later in the year.
This year’s theme was “Happy Patisserie”, and contestants had until the 10th of March to complete their submissions.
Around 2,000 entries were submitted and with all of them having their own unique charm, it was incredibly difficult for the judges to select a winner.
The judges managed to whittle the huge number of entries down to 6 top designs, before finally selecting a winner.
Let’s take a look at the 6 finalist entries, including the overall winner!
- Asagao Minoru
- Yoi
- Merunomeru
- OOHHYA
- Moromoimaru
The winning entry was by illustrator cold_air and this design will now be turned into a Nendoroid figure by Good Smile Company.
