Bannerlord Creative Competition

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I submit an image?
You can share your images on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram. Just remember to tag our account and use the hashtag #BannerlordCreativeContest

Can I submit more than one image?
No. One person can only submit one creation. If we realize you have submitted more than one image this will not disqualify you but we will only take into account the first submission. More submissions will not increase your chances of winning.

Then what about work-in-progress?
We would love to see your WIP shots! Just remember to clarify that it is a work in progress when sharing. You can use the hashtags #WIP or #workinprogress.

Is there any limit in size or file format for the fan-art and screenshot contests?
No, as long as you can share it on social media!

Can I join more than one competition?
Sure, but you can only make 1 entry in each contest.

How will the winners be picked?
A panel of TaleWorlds developers will judge the entries and select the winners.

How will I know if I won and how will I receive my prize?
We will contact you through the social media account that you used to join the competition, so please make sure to use an account you frequently use. If you win, you will be asked about your personal information privately, so please allow private messages on your account during the contest.

Why do you ask for copyright over fan-art?
Just so we can share your works on our website. Other than that, you can use them for whatever you want, within the already existent legal limits.

Will I be able to see the winners and where?
The winners will be announced in our social media channels and on our official website shortly after the contests end on 26th February 2021, 23:59 UTC+3.

Where can I reach out if I have further questions?
You can reach us on our social media channels or forums.

It’s acceptable but not necessary to host your art on a different image hosting site and link to it. A copy of it should be attached to the social media post in any case.
The artwork or the screenshot should be made or taken for the contest. It cannot be a creation that was shared in its complete form beforehand.
