COMMUNITY AWARDS 2027

The best thing you can find online is the reason to go offline. That is the spirit behind Pinterest and AWOL's partnership for the Community Awards, the only gala built for emerging creative talent. To let your creativity flourish, we have created two unique challenges to bring the event's theme to life. Pin your vision, style your look, and own your moment: choose between the Art Direction Challenge and the Best Look Challenge by building your ultimate Pinterest board. Scroll down to choose your challenge and bring your vision to life.

BEST LOOK CHALLENGE:
ELEMENTAL

COMMUNITY AWARDS 2027

Your next iconic look starts with a Pin. Dream up your ultimate Community Awards look through a Pinterest collage, inspired by this year's theme: ELEMENTAL — think earth, water, fire, air and everything in between.

This isn't about the most expensive outfit — it's about expressing who you are. Mix references, break the rules, then bring your inspiration to life as a real look at the event. One collage. One look. Style it. Own it.

Collage submission window: November 17 2026-January 10 2027

Submission window: November 14–28, 2026

Step 1: Create or use a Pinterest Business Account

A free, public Pinterest Business Account — takes 2 minutes to set up (see how). This keeps your work visible for review and gives you a home to keep showcasing your creative work.

Step 2: Create a Pinterest Collage inspired by ELEMENTAL

Build your collage using Pinterest's own Collage feature (not an external tool like Canva). It needs to be a Pinterest Collage created in-app, not just an image uploaded as a Pin.

Step 3: Bring the look to life

Wear an outfit inspired by your collage to the Community Awards 2027. Your physical look is part of the final evaluation — from URL to IRL!

HOW TO ENTER

WINNER OPPORTUNITY

€500 cash prize, crowned live at Community Awards 2027

Includes:

A live announcement during the event
A presentation of your winning Pinterest Collage
A photo or video moment highlighting your look

CREATIVE THOUGHT-STARTERS

Start with your collage — your vision-in-a-pin for bringing your ELEMENTAL-inspired look together. Build your collage around:

Fashion & styling references
Clothing, silhouettes & accessories
Colours & textures
Beauty & hair
Photography & mood

Good to know: translating your collage into your final look matters as much as the collage itself. Originality and personal style count more than budget — vintage, upcycled, handmade and wardrobe remixes are just as valid as anything bought for the occasion.

JUDGING CRITERIA

The Best Dressed Challenge is judged in two parts: an online review of your collage, and a physical assessment at the Community Awards — how your final outfit connects back to your original collage:
