SWTOR’s Best Dressed Contest is coming September 17! (Official Contest, September 17 and October 11, 2026)

A new Star Wars: The Old Republic™ contest has entered the galaxy! Starting September 17, 2026, players can submit two screenshots of their favorite characters in their best outfits or armor. With the thousands of pieces of gear in the game, do you have a creative eye to create a stunning, fabulous outfit befitting the STAR WARS™ universe? Four submissions will be selected as winners and those lucky players will have NPC Stronghold Decorations made inspired by the outfits they submit.

Rewards

• 2 male NPC decorations – available to all players on the Anniversary vendor
• 2 female NPC decorations – available to all players on the Anniversary vendor
• Holoversions of each of the above – given to only the winners of the contest
