Design Contest 2025: Results
Our most challenging Design Contest to date turned out to be a great success. This time, designers faced the complex task of crafting not just a standalone feature, but the foundation of an entirely new way to communicate on Telegram – and to manage that flow.
It was truly rewarding to come across so many gems out of 192 submissions – thank you. We spent more than a hundred hours reviewing each one, and dozens more discussing the ideas that stood out. With so many strong concepts in play, none decisively outperformed the others – so no one secured 1st place.
As a token of recognition of the effort participants put in, we are boosting the total prize fund from the initial $50,000 to $75,500 – an increase of over 50%.Now finally, meet the winners!
