FEBRUARY 2024 - DEATH STRANDING YEAR-ROUND PHOTO MODE CAMPAIGN

Hi Porters,

To celebrate 16 million active users on DEATH STRANDING, the team at KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS have started a special Photo Mode campaign that will run throughout 2024 over on Instagram and Twitter/X.

To ensure as many Porters as possible can get involved, we're also running this event here on Steam!

Each month, entries will be accepted according to the theme of each month, and the 10 best photos will be selected. Out of those selected 10, KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS staff will vote for one “Photo of the Month” winner.

The 12 photos of the monthly winners will be used as the cover for each month on the 2025 KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS calendar. This calendar will be sent to the Photo of the Month winners as a prize.

[h3]FEBRUARY DETAILS[/h3]

February's theme is "Connection"🤝
End date for submissions: February 25th 2024.
Submit your best photo mode shots here in the comments to be in with a chance of getting selected!

[h3]CAMPAIGN RULES[/h3]
The following rules will apply for this Photo Mode campaign.

Please turn off the UI when taking your picture (Photo Mode menu settings).
Do not use frames and logos when taking your picture (Photo Mode menu settings).
Do not use other apps to edit the pictures other than the ones in the game’s Photo Mode.
Please submit your own photos(Submission will be invalid if you apply using other people’s pictures).
If you are capturing it vertically (i.e. portrait), go to the Roll menu and change the settings to tilt it 90° or -90° beforehand.
We recommend an aspect ratio of 16:9 (9:16 if vertical).
The works selected in the top 10 and Photo of the Month may be used on KOJIMA PRODUCTION's website or social media.
Please save the image data.

[h3]PRIZE[/h3]

The winner of Photo of the Month will receive a KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS 2025 original calendar (1 person per month, total of 12 people).
This calendar will become a novelty item that includes each month’s Photo of the Month entries (Shipping is scheduled for January 2025).
