This is so cool, thank you so much u/spez!! 🙇‍♀️ and once again thank you to the entire Mod Events team for making this Mod World so memorable as my first time!!

Idk what flair to use oh god 🥲

On behalf of the Premium r/lounge subreddit, may I sincerely thank you for the generous gesture of one year’s free premium Reddit to the attendees of the wonderful Mod World 26. This has already had a massive impact on our community, with the greatest influx of new members in one day (which isn’t even over yet!) since the old awards system was removed in 2023.

Growing this particular subreddit is obviously not a thing we moderators have any part in, and we’ve all been quite sad that our growth hasn’t been anything near what it used to be while not being able to do anything about it.

We’re all looking forward to this new chapter of our unique subreddit, and can’t wait to see the impact this will have on us over the coming year. Thank you once again.

Mod World 2026 has come to an end, but we’ve got something special to remember it by: trophies! In case you missed it, we ran a trophy design contest here in r/ModEvents, and this year, we had two trophies to design: one for the Kickoff Party, and one for the official Mod World event! 

A huge congratulations to u/Skully--_-- for their Kickoff Party trophy design and u/badmosh-billu for their Mod World trophy design. Let’s give both of our winners some appreciation in the comments!

And of course, we can’t forget our finalists! A big shoutout to our finalists for their incredible submissions. Thank you all for sharing your creativity with the community!

But wait, there’s more! The talent doesn’t stop there. We also want to recognize a few honorable mentions:

• u/derppherppp
• u/badmosh-billu

Mod World Honorable Mentions

Now you might be wondering, “When will I see these beautiful trophies on my profile?” Rest assured, trophies will be granted within 3-4 weeks of the Mod World recording watch deadline of November 1, 2026, at 11:59 pm PST. 

That’s all from us (for now)! A huge thank you to everyone who submitted a design, cast a vote, or joined us in the streams. Mod World isn’t possible without the amazing mods of Reddit! We can’t wait to see what’s in store for next year.

Hey y’all! We’ve seen issues with folks having trouble accessing the post-event survey and have figured out a solution.

If you’re struggling to access the survey through Bevy, you can use this Google Form instead. 

Taking either survey will make you eligible for the signed mug giveaway. Apologies for any confusion! Thank you in advance for providing your feedback and for attending Mod World weekend. 

I RSVPed last month when I got the notification but honestly I barely read the details (except the part about the trophy 😂) since it was going to be my first Mod World, I was mostly just curious about what the event would be like. I wasn’t even sure if I’d be able to attend but I’m so glad I did!

The chat was so fun!! Watching everyone roast u/spez throughout the livestream was honestly hilarious and u/big-slay’s energy throughout the whole event was incredible❤️ I loved how lively and entertaining everything was, from the livestream itself to the interactions in the chat.

Also, I somehow only found out the r/lounge existed a couple of hours ago 💀 and I didn’t even realize we were getting Premium until the livestream, so that was such a nice surprise 😝

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to u/spez, u/big-slay, u/iceeypisces, and the whole admin team for putting together such a fun event! 🥹 I had a great time at my first Mod World, and I’ll definitely be back next year ❤️🤞
