Thank you for all your wonderful submissions and votes. We are very happy to announce the following winning designs, chosen by the MAL community!
New Templates
These brand new list layouts were the top three most-voted designs in the contest! These winners will receive an official MAL T–shirt of their choice and one year of MAL Supporter.
Dungeons & Dragons
created by Half_Bl00d
Layout based on the Monster Manual and Character Sheet for Dungeons & Dragons 5e. Grid-type list with large images, that can fit all data (columns) and adapts based on which columns are turned on. The grid itself as well as the other elements adapt based on the screen resolution, so it's usable both on smaller and larger screens. Adapted for manga list as well.
Blackout
created by Valerio_Lyndon
A dark and futuristic take on the regular anime list, with a completely redesigned page layout. The list itself is highly dynamic and should adjust to any configuration. This theme works great with vertical cover images, perfect for displaying posters or characters!
Night Shift
created by Cateinya
New Themes
These designs give a fresh coat of paint to the base Modern layout. After seeing so many great ideas, we felt three extra winners should be selected. The top theme designers as chosen by voters will also receive one year of MAL Supporter.
