Posted September 30, 2023 Hey everyone! We want to implement an image gallery on the new website so visitors can get a better idea of what they could get into. And while purposely taken screenshots by the team (such as on the Steam store page) may look good and professional to new players, we would also like to highlight the important role of the Wurm community on the website. That's why I'm inviting all of you to participate in the official Website Screenshot Contest 2023! Use your chance to show off your village, your animals, your character, your pets, some beautiful place you like or anything else that makes Wurm special for you. Show some of it, show everything - it's totally up to you! I will review your entries together with the whole development team to select the most outstanding works for a prize. In addition to that, everyone has the chance to get their screenshot featured on the website, whether they win a prize or not. As we want to cover as many aspects of the game as possible, the entries are split into 4 categories: Nature & Landscape Mountains, rivers, forests, ... Animal wildlife, on land or at sea Life in Wurm, Villages & Constructs Small villages or farms Bigger towns or cities Special buildings or themed constructs PvE Community Community events (rifts, unique slayings, impalongs, ...) Activities with friends PvP Community War deeds/fortified villages PvP combat (skirmishes, sieges, ...) Kingdom focus (artifacts, war banners, religion/mycelium, guard towers/territory control, ...) We will select the 3 most outstanding screenshots in every category and declare them as winner. You can submit one screenshot for every category, so 4 in total. To give everyone a chance to win however, you can only win in a single category. The prizes are: 15 silver coins + 45 days of premium time for 1st places 10 silver coins + 30 days of premium time for 2nd places 5 silver coins + 15 days of premium time for 3rd places The winners will be contacted by us through a private message on this forum. Your prize can be redeemed on an account of your choice, it's not possible to split it however. (silver coins and premium time will be issued together) Please submit your original screenshots in this dedicated submission thread until 23:59 UTC on Sunday, the 15th October 2023. It's highly recommended to turn up the graphic settings before taking your screenshot. You may only submit screenshots originally created by you. Also keep in mind that your creation has to follow the game rules. Obscene or insulting entries will get you disqualified. With submitting your screenshot you understand and agree that it might get featured on the forum and/or on the games website or social media pages. The winners will be announced here and in the next issue of Valrei International. Good luck everyone! Edit 24.10.2023: The winners have been selected and the prizes were issued.

Upload the image to a 3rd party image hosting site like imgur.com (thats the most common I think) and post the image link and it will automatically convert to an image.

Extra tip: when viewing the image on imgur.com, right click the image and select 'Open Image in New Tab'. Then copy the URL from that web page and paste it into the forum. For example, if I look at this screenshot in the imgur.com site and paste that URL here, I can click through to see it but it will not show up in the forum: https://imgur.com/a/SX49fwl But now after I right click on that image and open it in a new tab, and then copy that URL and paste it here.... Viola! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Viola! Ah yes! Should have specified. You need the link to the image. Can be access through your way or just right clicking the imagine while in Imgur and hitting copy image link.

Posted October 24, 2023 Sorry for the delay, the winners finally have been selected! Nature & Landscape First place: @Hailiah Second place: @XLoFF Third place: @pagsiu Life in Wurm, Villages & Constructs First place: @shalashala Second place: @Silvanoshaya Third place: @Alyssum PvE Community First place: @Korppi Second place: @RedMoonInn Third place: @Griffy PvP Community First place: @Xallo Also first place: @Guvna Second place: @Zexos Third place: @Kulthar Congratulations to the winners! I will contact you today so you can claim your prize. And a big thank you to everyone participating! There were so many good submissions with different themes, it was really hard to choose the best. The screenshot selection for the website is a separated process and will begin shortly. You might get contacted by us for that, in case we are looking for a higher resolution version of your submission. Also a note on the 2 first places for the PvP theme: both their submissions were quite similar. Besides that,@Xallois a staff member and we didn't want staff to "take away" prizes for other players, so both first places get the full prize. This topic will stay open for feedback and discussion. As it was mostly positive so far, it looks like we should do community events like this more often in the future. Feel free to let us know what you think! 20 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
