April Fools 2026: Ad Banner Submissions

[Bartolumiu]

Some of you were already wondering if we were going to skip it this year, but NO, it's finally here!

It's officially the time to open up our submission period for the April Fools ad banners!

Yes, you read that right:

It's time to do your worst!​

If you're new here and have no idea what's going on, take a peek at last year's banners and covers.

Now for the technical rules (which I definitely typed out from scratch and did not copypaste from last year's announcement, nope).

Format Requirements​

• Banner style (wide) or Cover style (portrait). Try to match the general sizes of the examples linked above. We'll stick them wherever they fit best.
• As for file size, animated GIFs are fine, but we are not hosting your uncompressed 20MB cinematic masterpiece. Keep it to a maximum of 3 MB.
• Your ad MUST relate to a title available on MangaDex. Link the title in your submission.

Content Rules​

NO: Full-blown pornography, spoilers, shock content, flashbangs/strobe effects, or AI-generated content.
YES: Mildly lewd ads, top-tier memes, and mercilessly shit-talking/mocking the title you chose.

How to Submit​

Reply to this thread with your submission OR send it to me via DM (@Bartolumiu).
Host your image on a public sharing service (like Imgur) and don't forget the MangaDex link to the title. If you don't follow these instructions, your ad is going straight to the void.

The Deadline​

Get these in by the 31st of March at 16:00 UTC (noon EDT for the 'muricans out there).
After that, the thread locks and we're done.

Wait, is that it?​

Not quite. GachaDex is also making a comeback! We are expanding the existing roster and accepting title and chapter submissions for new cards. To keep things organised (and keep me sane, it that's even possible anymore), head over to this dedicated thread to submit your gacha additions.

Good luck, and have fun!​
