Entrants were tasked with creating a unique tribe of three Mixels in the style of official Mixels sets. Three winners received various LEGO prizes and artwork depictions of their entries.
Trivia
- Competitions were not held for any individual series after Series 4, possibly due to a decline in entries.[10]
- The second place winner of the Series 1 competition, 'Moustached Mixel', has no archived image due to the original upload of it being deleted.
- It is unknown if artwork of the winning entries of the Mixel-Making Competition were ever created, as no art was ever released. It is possible the art was never made public and only sent to the winners.
- One of the fourteen judges of the Mixel-Making Competition was Gemma Anderson, a designer of Mixels sets.
