Announcing Neos Content Contest with $700 in prizes

Hello Neos VR Community!

We're very excited to announce our first Neos Content Contest, where you can win prizes for creating cool content in Neos VR.

This contest has officially started on April 7th at our second community meetup, but there is still plenty of time to join. You have until May 7th to submit your creations.

What are the prizes?
  • 1st place: $400 in Neos Credits and a 3D NCC diamond trophy
  • 2nd place: $200 in Neos Credits and a 3D NCC golden trophy
  • 3rd place: $100 in Neos Credits and a 3D NCC silver trophy

Each winner will also receive their own unique name badge, with the rest of the contestants receiving a participation badge, to show that they were part of our very first contest.

Each contestant can submit up to three entries. Collaboration is also allowed, but each team will have to split the prize. Unique badges will be awarded to each team member.

You are allowed to create whatever you imagine, worlds, objects, avatars, particle effects, gadgets, logix scripts, games, art, anything at all!

You are also allowed to use preexisting content, but you are required to do something original with it. Simply importing existing models without any modifications or interactivity won't qualify.

All content must be submitted as a world orb with a tag name under as NCC. Content will be judged on multiple categories such as interactivity, originality, audio/visual and overall experience. We are looking for diverse content, so any type has chance to win!

We are all very excited too see what incredible things this community can build out this month. We will be announcing all winners on May 14th 2019. Each Neos Team member will be voting for their favorite experiences. In case of a tie, it will be broken by Frooxius (me).
