CorelDRAW

Calling all CorelDRAW creators:
Send in your work for a chance to win!

Written by: Melanie Hyde, Senior Product Marketing Manager

As a creative type, you know the drill.

You’ve got a brilliant idea for something new—a design you finally have all the right software features to create, a video for a new technique you’ve been workshopping, a guide for your latest process.

No matter what assignments and requests you get, though, that idea just doesn’t seem to fit. But you know its big moment is out there, just waiting.

Now, that idea is getting its chance to shine.

The CorelDRAW team wants to see your best and brightest creations, the ideas you’ve been holding onto for a purely artistic moment—and help the rest of the world see them, too!

Get ready for the 2026 CorelDRAW content contest

From April 30 to May 21, 2026, you’re invited to participate in our CorelDRAW content contest—and this year, it isn’t just about artwork.

It’s about all the creativity you put into the masterpieces you make.

All you have to do is send in your CorelDRAW creations to the CorelDRAW team, and you’ll enter for your shot at:

  • Being featured in CorelDRAW marketing, which puts your content in front of an audience of millions
  • Winning one of three prize packs featuring software and AI credits
  • Unlocking a potential opportunity for ongoing collaboration with Corel

Here’s what you’ll want to know.

What you can submit for the contest

The contest features three unique categories, each of which will have its own prize. Plus, you can create content for and enter as many categories as you like by the deadline—it only increases your chances of winning!

Category 1: Artwork

Have an idea for an original and unique design you want to create in CorelDRAW Graphics Suite, CorelDRAW Technical Suite, or CorelDRAW Go? Send it on in! The Corel team would love to see it.

Be sure to export your design as a PNG or JPG for your entry. Winners will be asked to send in the original CDR, CPT, or DES file.

Category 2: Video

Like making videos that showcase the creative process you use in your CorelDRAW software? Send one in—speed drawings, tutorials, tips, and design walkthroughs are all welcome.

Category 3: Written

Have a knack for creating written guides to help others get more from CorelDRAW software? Share them with your entry—tips,tutorials, workflow guides, and educational content alike.

What you get if you win a category

Remember, each category will have its own winner—and each winner will receive a software and AI credit bundle valued at over $1,000 USD.

This includes:

  • A one-year subscription to CorelDRAW Graphics Suite
  • A one-year subscription to CorelDRAW Technical Suite
  • A one-year subscription to CorelDRAW Go
  • 35,000 additional AI credits

If you’ve already got a subscription to any of the software products, by the way, don’t worry—we’ll just extend your subscription by a year when it’s up for renewal.

If you’ve got a perpetual license for CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 2026 or CorelDRAW Technical Suite 2026, we’ll provide a one-year subscription for the next major version when it’s released.

When you can enter your creations

The contest is running from April 30, 2026, to May 21, 2026—so get your entries in during that time!
