'''Creator Contests''' are made by RobTop and the moderators for players to create levels for the game's [[Gauntlets]]. There have been nine creator contests, creating levels for 16 different gauntlets.
'''Creator Contests''' are community events organized by the [[Robert Topala|developer]], usually with the help of prominent community members. Winning contest submissions are then implemented in [[Geometry Dash]], including levels featured in [[gauntlets]] and [[Icon Kit|icons]]. Submissions may also receive cash prizes; unless otherwise stated, all prizes are in United States Dollars (or US$).  
 
The first six contests were announced on [https://www.youtube.com/@viprin Viprin's] YouTube channel, and all subsequent contests have been announced on [[RobTop|RobTop's]] channel.

The Magic Gauntlet Contest ran from 6 October to 1 December 2017. Unlike other contests, players did not make full levels, but instead individual sections of two 'mega-collaboration' levels that would be the 4th and 5th levels in the gauntlet. There were two sub-contests, the Unknown Creators contest and the Famous Creators contest. The Unknown Creators contest was only open to players with fewer than 15 creator points, while the Famous Creators contest was open to anyone.


Two levels were uploaded to Etzer's account, one for the Unknown Creators contest and one for the Famous Creators contest. The Unknown Creators level used the song ''Odyssey'', and the Famous Creators level used the song ''Empyrean'', both songs made by Etzer himself. Both levels were split up into 15-second sections, with speed portals and colour channels already set up that any creators must adhere to. Creators could submit gameplay and decoration for as many sections as they wanted, but only one section could be chosen from each creator.

The Random Gauntlet Contest originally ran from 18 July to 16 November 2025, before the deadline was extended to 14 December. The ten best levels were added to the Random and Chance Gauntlets, which were released on 19 January 2026. The ten winners each received $500, and the honourable mentions each received $100. Unlike previous contests, the levels were not ranked; instead, there were 10 winners and 10 honourable mentions. The top ten levels were guaranteed to have at least an Epic rating, though all ended up receiving a Legendary or Mythic rating.

==Icon Creator Contests==
There have been two icon creator contests, the first of which included the winning submissions as items in the [[Community Shop]].
==Trivia==
<!-- The only Gauntlet Contest 'winner' to receive an Epic rating since Update 2.2 is 'Quality Time'; all other winners received a Legendary or Mythic rating. -->
*The following levels are included in Gauntlets despite not meeting the criteria of their respective creator contests:
**[[Odyssey]] from the Magic Gauntlet is rated 7 stars, while the criteria for the Unknown Creators mega-collaboration were for the level to be 5 or 6 stars in difficulty.
**[[SLAM]] from the Monster Gauntlet is rated 7 stars, when the criterion to be eligible was for levels to be rated 8 or 9 stars. The level was added despite this, as it was noted during judging that the creator had originally requested 8 stars.
**[[Nowise]] and [[Darkness Keeper]] from the Doom Gauntlet are each rated Hard Demon, when the criterion to be eligible was for levels to be rated Easy Demon or Medium Demon. The levels' difficulties were changed to Medium Demon, although it was later reverted.
**[[BISMARCK]], [[Lutetia]], [[PABRIK]], and [[Asadal]] from the Universe Gauntlet are each rated Medium Demon, when the criterion to be eligible was for levels to be rated no harder than Easy Demon. [[Ruta Del Sol]] is the only Easy Demon.
*The following levels originally did not meet the criteria of their respective creator contests, but were later fixed:
**[[Radiant Glen]] from the Discord Gauntlet originally did not have its alternate path available until nearly 15 seconds into the level, while the criterion to be eligible required the alternate path to be available within the first five seconds. The level was later updated to make the alternate path available much earlier.
**[[Project Novaform]] from the Chance Gauntlet was originally rated Easy Demon, when the criterion to be eligible required levels to be rated Harder or Insane. The level was quickly re-rated to Insane before its inclusion in the gauntlet.
