KHOC Week 2026 | August 1st-7th

Welcome back to Kingdom Hearts OC Week!

It's our 8th year of this event and we can't wait to get started.

As always, feel free to interpret these however you see fit. And if these don't inspire, you are welcome to use any of the past years' prompts! You can find them here on the Carrd.

You get an entire month to work on your creations. When you post during the event (August 1st-7th), make sure to @ this account and use the tag #khocweek2026. That way we can see your posts and share them!

Without further ado, let's continue the Worlds Tour with this year's prompts!

Just 1 week left until Kingdom Hearts OC Week!

How's everyone feeling? You ready to share your characters? We can't wait to see the amazing things everyone's been creating.

Each Submission Must Tag The KHOCWeek Account And Use The Tag #khocweek2026

◾This makes it easier for the mods to find your post and share it.

Any Form of Creative Media is Allowed

◾You are welcome to use any of the provided prompts.

◾Your submissions can be artwork, written stories, sketches, music, cosplay, written answers, etc... Wherever inspiration takes you!

No Mature Content

◾ All submissions must refrain from having sexually suggestive or excessively violent material.

◾ Some blood and violence is allowed. Please use your discretion.

Refrain From Using Criticism About Other Submissions

◾Criticism, even constructive, is not welcome during the event. This is meant to be a safe and encouraging environment. If you are found being rude towards another participant, you may be suspended from future events.

Please Be Patient For Feedback

◾Something we do every year during this event is making sure each post is provided feedback and encouragement. There are two mods per social, so two on Tumblr, Twitter, and on Bluesky, to spread out the workload. That said, each of us obviously have a life outside the event and usually cannot provide feedback the moment a post is made.

Our workaround is to reblog/retweet a post, make note of it, and then come back to it later in the day to provide feedback. So if you see your post shared, make sure to check back tomorrow to see the feedback! We will get to everyone as we can <3

Technically 13 days away, accidentally posted this a day late OOPS

But we're nearly there! We can't wait to see everyone's amazing characters.

Oh that is so exciting! I'm so glad you're inspired and motivated!

You are absolutely welcome to submit more than one post a day, or keep going after the official "event" ends.

Kingdom Hearts OC Week is just 3 weeks away!!

I hope everyone has gotten started on their pieces. When you do post during the event, make sure to tag this account and use the hashtag #khocweek2026

This will help us see your post so we can share it and give feedback!

I will be posting the rules for the event later this week, so be on the look out for them.

The next Kingdom Hearts OC Week is coming up fast! It will officially take place August 1st-7th, which means the prompts will be revealed in just another week! Without giving too much away, we're following the tradition from last year with the Worlds Tour and we thought it might be fun to include everyone in deciding the final two worlds. What does a Worlds Tour mean? Well that basically means that every day of KHOC Week, the prompt will be focused on a world from the Kingdom Hearts franchise. We have the first five days situated, but the final two are still up for the picking! Which is where you come in!

Is it fine to apply mine late or do I have to wait for next year's event to do it while tagging the account?

Sorry for any disappointment, but happy KHOC week💙 Everyone's KHOCs were amazing to see🥰

This is a WIP of Rin in Blender

Oh Rin is looking amazing!

And don't worry at all. Real life can be hectic sometimes, we completely understand. You are absolutely welcome to still tag us and post OC content!

We've reached the end of another KHOC Week and it has been a wonderful adventure. Thank you to everyone that participated! There was so much support and love amongst all the amazing posts. Each of you made this week special.

Before we close out this year's event, I wanted to give some attention to the mods that worked endlessly to make sure that each and every post received personalized feedback. It's a lot of work to do this event, I won't lie. Without them, I'm not sure I would have been able to keep this event going. It's so important to me that everyone's post gets their time to shine.

On Tumblr, we had @rainrain9 and @hinataoc(me!) as the mods! Twitter was managed by @blissfulnightrain and @ornamentelle! Our newest mods, @strangerfromparadiseonao3 and @peony-pearl, took care of BlueSky, which was also our first year spreading to that platform!

And of course, huge thanks to @amyhayanora, as our graphics mod. She created each and every banner, and has done so for the past several KHOC Weeks.

Each of these mods are dear friends to me and their support in this means the world. So if you have the chance, make sure to give them some love for everything they've done to make this event possible!

With that, we close our doors this year. But don't worry, we'll be back next year!
