Even with the grace period to submit until 9pm PST it appears no one has entered into the arena! This was quite unexpected seeing how many awesome projects there are in the community that could have easily made an amazing competition.
Prize pool gets forwarded to the next "FIRST" ever Blender Brawl of 2026 which already had a $100 prize pool to the total of $600! We will need a host for the 2026 Blender Brawl (Ton, Pablo, Andrew or any Blender celebrity would be fun) as I myself will be a contender for the 2026 competition to be the first ever Blender Brawl champion.
The Blender Brawl page will be updated. Competition details will be established around April to determine who the host/hosts are, if the competition will be at the Blender Conference 2026 and any other details regarding rules.
Big thank you to Iza Zed and the Armory3D community.
