The Chosen One Tournament 2025
Event starts in:
A new era has begun
The much-anticipated Chosen One Tournament is making a return and this year will be the biggest yet. With a whopping $10,000+ prize pool, the top seven contenders will clash to claim their share. Who has the skill and creativity to join the ranks of the six Oni? And who will rise above all to be crowned the Chosen One?
This year’s competition pays homage to the core roots of the Hyun’s Dojo community. A celebration of over a decade of stick figure animations and a nod to the ones that inspired me to start animating and to create a small community called Hyun’s Dojo many years ago.
The new Dojo is finally open, and we’re on the hunt for the best animators from across all the lands! The timer is set, and the gongs are ringing! Get ready for the most epic showdown in Dojo history!

This year, our judging criteria will prioritize animation skills, with the majority of points being awarded based on your technical animation expertise.
