How to Apply for Paladins Community Tournament Prizing Support

Here at Hi-Rez Studios, we've always been huge advocates for community growth and engagement -- and we pride ourselves on assisting communities of all sizes across the world. One manner in which we're able to do this is by providing our community tournaments with in-game rewards and (in some cases) promotional opportunities.
If you're a current community tournament organizer, or are looking to start organizing community tournaments for Paladins on any platform, this quick how-to guide will let you know what steps you need to take to be eligible for in-game prizing and more!

[h3]What Is A Community Tournament?[/h3]
It's pretty simple! A community tournament is any tournament that's run by someone in our community -- that is, someone who is not affiliated with Hi-Rez Studios as an employee. Whether you're a large community with hundreds or thousands of members, an in-game clan, or a smaller group of friends who just want to have some competitive fun, community tournaments are a great resource!
If you're an aspiring administrator, broadcaster, commentator, or etc, community tournaments are where you can get hands-on competitive experience for Paladins.

[h3]How to Apply for Paladins Community Tournament Prizes[/h3]
Applying for community tournament prizes is a simple process! Just follow the steps below and you'll be well on your way to getting prizes for your competitive series.

[h2]Step 1: Review our Funding Requirements[/h2]
Before you start working on your formal application, you'll need to make sure you read and understand our latest Community Tournament License, and Community Tournament Funding Requirements. We pride ourselves in the quality of the community tournaments that we assist with in-game prizes -- and in order to maintain this, we ask that current and prospective community tournament organizers all follow the requirements in the documentation above to ensure this quality is maintained.

[h2]Step 2: Submit an Application[/h2]
After you’ve familiarized yourself with our community tournament funding requirements, you’ll need to send us an application which includes a written proposal for your tournament or tournament series.

To help you get started, we’ve compiled a Prize Application Template which outlines what information you’ll need to include in order for us to review your application. Please review this format in its entirety so you can make sure that your application is up to par! Following the proposal format as closely as possible will expedite the approval process for your tournament.
All community tournament proposals and inquiries should be directed to [email protected].
Once you've submitted your application to that email address, one of our Community Specialists will be happy to assist you with your application or any questions you may have.

--------------------------

That's all there is to it! Read our funding requirements, submit a formal written application for your tournament, and then our esports specialists will work on approving that tournament so you can receive prizes from Hi-Rez Studios. If you have any questions, you can email the [email protected] address listed above to get in touch with our community tournament team. We hope to see you and your community in the Realm!

Paladins Fall 2021 Avatar Submission Program

Champions of the Realm!

We love to see all of the incredible fan art tons of our community members create (especially with all of this extra free time this year), and we wanted to give you another chance at getting your art into the game! As we gear up for the season of Autumn, we wanted to open up submissions for you to enter your own fan art in hopes of your art pieces being turned into Avatars for everyone to earn for free during our update later this year!

Starting now, you can submit your fan art for our Evil Mojo team to review and select to be a part of our Paladins update around Halloween! Submissions close on July 9th, 2021, so make sure to get your art in before the submission form closes! Bring out the big guns and show us what you’ve got! We simply can’t wait to see what you come up with!

The chosen submissions will receive our newly unveiled “Community Creator” spray and title as well as 10 codes for their in-game Avatar!

Make your submissions here, and become familiar with all the rules listed below.

Best of luck to all our community artists!

The official rules for this program consist of both this Program Page and the Paladins® Community Submission Program General Rules, Terms and Conditions (“General Rules”) available here!

2021 Paladins® Community Submission Program

[h3]THEME:[/h3]

[h3]SUBMISSION SELECTION:[/h3]
The Evil Mojo Team will review submissions based on the following factors: originality, technical feasibility, player appeal, overall theme, and quality. The team will select up to 10 submissions after review for potential implementation in the game, subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with these Program Rules, including without limitation completion of a declaration of eligibility and acknowledgment of Hi-Rez’s rights in the submission. Hi-Rez reserves the right to increase/decrease the number of submissions to implement in-game based on the overall quality of the Submissions.

Implementation of the selected submission in-game; the in-game title “Community Creator”; the “Community Creator” spray; and 10 codes for in-game downloads of the avatar created using your Submission.

Please also note the following reminders on program rules:

  • Submissions must be consistent with the Theme for the program (in this case, Paladins).
  • Submissions must be submitted in PNG format with a 128×128 pixel size.
  • Submissions that are animated must be submitted with a 128x128 pixel size in GIF format.
  • Your submission must not have been submitted in any other Paladins community submission program.
  • Your submission must be your original work. This means the submission must be conceived, designed, and drawn solely by you.
  • If any submissions other than final selected submission(s) in this Program stand out to us, we may choose to implement such submission at some point in the future.
  • In the event your submission is selected for potential implementation, you will be notified via e-mail with additional instructions by Hi-Rez Studios, which may include requests to provide additional information or documents. Failure to respond to such notification or follow such instructions by the deadline (or if no deadline is provided, then within a reasonable time) may result in disqualification.
  • Submissions must be appropriate for the Paladins universe. Entries will be disqualified if deemed inappropriate for implementation in the game. As an initial matter, entries that are obscene, offensive, vulgar, or discriminatory will be removed from the program. We reserve the right to disqualify submissions, including, without limitation, submissions that (a) are incomplete or unclear; (b) violate any applicable laws, including without limitation, infringement of intellectual property or publicity rights; (c) contain fraudulent, false, or misleading information; or (d) are otherwise detrimental or damaging to Hi-Rez Studios and its affiliates. We reserve the right to disqualify submissions that do not comply with program rules.
  • In exchange for the license set forth in the General Rules for use of our materials in your submission, submissions are the sole and exclusive property of Hi-Rez as set forth in the General Rules.
  • Any opportunity to have a Submission implemented in-game has no cash value, and no award of any kind is offered beyond the honor of having the top Submission(s) considered for implementation in-game by Hi-Rez Studios.
