New World Interactive is excited to announce our first ever Community Cosmetic Contest!

Participants will have 6 weeks from July 11th, 2021 at 2:00 PM Eastern Time (“ET”), until August 31st, August 31st, 2021 at 2:00 PM ET (the “Contest Period”) to create and upload a set of four (4) cosmetic items combining into a fully-realized ensemble for the Security faction, a set of four (4) cosmetic items combining into a fully-realized ensemble for the Insurgent faction, weapon skin set that applies to six (6) Security weapons, or a weapon skin set that applies to six (6) Insurgent weapons.
NWI will select the top four (4) from each category (Insurgent character cosmetics, Security character cosmetics, Security weapon skin, and Insurgent Weapon Skin) and public voting will decide the winner from each category.
While there’s no specific theme, submissions that do not fit with the aesthetic of Insurgency: Sandstorm will not be considered as potential finalists.
PRIZE POOL:
$2,000 - Winner for Security Character Cosmetics
$2,000 - Winner for Insurgent Character Cosmetics
$2,000 - Winner for Security Weapon Skin

SUBMISSION & JUDGING CRITERIA:
Submissions will be accepted as original Unreal Engine assets or as original concept art.
All submissions must be submitted to [email protected] by August 31st, 2021 at 2:00 PM ET. No changes will be permitted past this deadline.
During the week after submissions are closed, NWI will judge and decide on the top four (4) for each of the four (4) categories.
The Entrant warrants that Entrant’s Submission complies with the Submission Guidelines. Sponsor may display all Entries on the Sponsor’s website, and other Contest-related websites as well.
After these finalists have been determined there will be a public survey available where the public will be able to rank all the finalist submissions from least favorite to most favorite.
The top-rated submission from each category will then be deemed the winner and official assets will be created using the source material to be implemented into Insurgency: Sandstorm.
By winning this Contest, the Entrant grants to Sponsor and assigns a royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive license to use, reproduce, modify, publish, create derivative works from, distribute and display Entrant’s Submission in whole or in part.
To qualify, the submitted assets must be original content created specifically for this contest. No copyrighted material (or content directly based on, or deemed to be too similar to existing material) will be permitted, and any submissions found to be plagiarized will be immediately disqualified.
If you are working as a team or using any custom content you must ensure you have full legal permission to use any and all work submitted, as well as being legally able to grant permission for New World Interactive and contest partners to use the submitted entry if selected.
