People dressed in colorful, sequined costumes pose on stage as the winners of the 2026 KOTO Lip Sync Contest, with one person kneeling in the middle wearing large decorative glasses and smiling.

The 36th annual KOTO Lip Sync Contest has come & gone, and while we take inspiration and motivation for next year’s contest, let’s reminisce on the top three acts from 2026. Although the staff act is not allowed to compete, we are always proud of our staff & DJ’s dedication to performance!
