[BLOG] - Announcing the CS:GO Dreams & Nightmares Workshop Contest On July 22nd we are launching the $1 Million Dreams & Nightmares Workshop Contest. We are looking for 10 original dream or nightmare-themed weapon finishes for CS:GO. Each of the 10 winning entries will earn $100,000. Beyond submitting your original weapon finish to the CS:GO Workshop, all you need to enter is a non-limited Steam account. And yes, teams of more than one person can also enter. To help content creators get a better feel for what we're looking for we've launched a dedicated web site for the contest. Here you will find more info on the types of finishes we're looking for, examples of the Dreams & Nightmares theme, info on how to enter, details of the contest, and more. We've also created a sub forum in CS:GO's Discussions for artists, technical artists, and others to collaborate on contest-themed submissions and ideas. We launched the Workshop on Steam almost 10 years ago in the hopes of creating a centralized hub for community created content. Since then, over five million content creators have submitted and published over 20 million new items for a variety of games on Steam, making them available for purchase to millions of gamers around the world. And, as everyone who plays these games knows – including CS players – many of the most iconic in-game items, maps, and more have been authored by members of the community. The Dreams & Nightmares Content Contest is designed to help further support this community. If you have any questions or comments about the contest, please email us at csgoteamfeedback@valvesoftware.com using the subject “Dreams & Nightmares.” https://blog.counter-strike.net/index.php/2021/07/34777/
