What IS Trans Prom?

Trans prom is a celebration of all those on the gender spectrum!

The real answer is that it is an online event where people draw themselves in the prom outfit of their dreams. Since most trans individuals were not out, didn't know, or weren't comfortable presenting a certain way when they were in high school, many did not get to wear the prom outfit of their dreams. This is an opportunity for all individuals to live out that part of their lives that they may not have been afforded.

All types of art is permitted. People have done 3D renders, irl dresses, and traditional media for trans prom. There are no rules except be nice.

Also, even if you don't identify strictly as a trans woman or trans man, you can still participate!

Happy Trans Prom

I may be pretty late but I didn't miss it! WOO!

anyways without further ado, me

last year I did a night sky dress and this year I decided to carry it somewhat forward by vaguely going with sunrise. I think it came out really well

and of course my thanks goes out to @zaigg for... hosting? creating? for being responsible for trans prom

I also have a version without the light effects below the cut(which somehow needed further squishing to fit onto tumblr despite removing things to make it)

I never went to dances, being deadnamed in my dad's oversized button-ups while hugging the gym's walls awkwardly was reason enough not to consider it.

I ran away before prom, but were I there, if i allowed myself the escapism. If I gave myself the chance to dream, my trans sisters surely must be there alongside me.

it is a nice fantasy, but as all dreams must, we wake to the stale mundane world of hard truths. I never went to prom.

Hello! So, I have seen a lot of things for trans prom. It looks like loads of fun. However, I have very little practice drawing or artwork. Would it still be acceptable to join with written work? I realize it's a bit outside the spirit of the event, so I understand if it's discouraged.

I'm not a fed, a cop, or your mom (though I could be, I guess). You can do what you want.

There is only 1 rule of trans prom: don't be an asshole.

Also writing is a form of art :D

[zaigg]

So much more transmasc artists this year than last year! Love the visibility!

Trans mascs! WE LOVE YOU BEING HERE! RAAAHHHHH

[sixfoothalfling]

I always arrive fashionably late. Or just late depending on how you look at it.

Thank you @zaigg for hosting trans prom once again! I am happy to participate this time around!

[carniscollective]

I wasn't able to attend prom on my last year so thank you @zaigg for hosting this! 💗

lowkq just played around with overlays and lighting effects with this one hehe

[that-enby-farmer]

Had nothing better to do, and heard that @zaigg was doing this trans prom thing.

Never went to prom when I was in school, so... Guess there's this.

[liddimothie]

Trans prom time!

This one was fun to do, thank you @zaigg for doing this again, these are always fun

And also thank you @squiretilde and @lambinajam for doing this with me

[zaigg]

can I participate in trans prom even if I'm not old enough to have gone to prom yet? I probably won't be able to go to prom dressed the way I want anyway

thanks! ^^

(dw, I'm old enough to use tumblr lol)

Sorry I couldn't hear you young'ins.

There's is only 1 rule for Trans Prom: don't be an asshole.

Being of prom age or over is not a rule, so do whatever.

[zaigg]

as a trans (genderfluid apagender) person who was broke at the time of their only prom and cannot do it again due to being in online school, thank you. genuinely. even if i loved my prom outfit --- which i do --- it means alot that i can still have that ability to imagine and dream of a better one without feeling incredibly alone. thank u so much

Trans Prom 2026

First time doing a trans prom artpiece. Thanks to @zaigg for starting this trend, I had a blast making it.

I decided to go with pastel colors for this one to give it a softer feeling, its different from my previous art pieces but overall I loved how this turned out.

[myirlnameiscloud]

Thank you @zaigg for trans prom, you made this trans guy so happy!! I thought I'd draw myself in my favorite suit, I love it so much, it makes me excited to go to fancy events.

[pennymations]

Incredibly late to the game, but this is my contribution for @zaigg 's Trans Prom '26. This year, I wanted to draw my vampire sona as a vampire queen for this year's prom. I had a lot of fun with this!

[alienposadismo]

Sooooo I got myself a partner for this year's Trans Prom :3

Once again, shoutout to @zaigg for the concept itself etc. Gotta say, as little of an edit as this is, it sure does the trick and that sure makes me smile.

But yeah, consider this a liiiiil announcement bonus as you meet Karolina, my Italian transfem GF. :3

I'll see if I can get her to make a Tumblr, and if she does, expect a ping in the comments~♡
