You all showed so much creativity and good humor, and we are very grateful you shared your videos with us. You can find all videos shown on https://robertsspaceindustries.com/citizencon. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ UPDATE: We've received several questions if this can also be out-of-game/real-world videos, and the answer is yes. We've already heard from some participants that they plan on making props and filming outside of the game. You can also film in front of a green screen and combine it with in-game footage. UPDATE #2: Due to a large number of submissions (we need more time to review), the Video contest will close a week earlier. The new submissions deadline is now September 12th (previously the 19th). ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hello everyone! As you may know, CitizenCon 2951 will be held digitally on October 9, 2021, but that doesn't mean you can't still be a part of this big show. One aspect of CitizenCon that we love dearly is being able to highlight the community with Community Booths! Now, this is a bit harder when the show goes digital, but we think we have a fun solution. We're giving you the opportunity to spotlight your org, reveal an awesome project you've been working on, create an in-fiction advertisement, or anything else (in-fiction) creative that you can think of! Get ready to be apart of CitizenCon 2951! Welcome to the CitizenCon 2951 Video Contest! Before you start creating, please read the contest rules carefully and only submit your entries to videosubmission@cloudimperiumgames.com. Any submissions not emailed to the 'videosubmission@cloudimperiumgames.com' will not be accepted. So what is this all about, you might ask? Well... We're asking you for well-produced and entertaining in-fiction videos to play between dev panels at CitizenCon 2951. So, send us your creations for the opportunity to reach and entertain the entire Star Citizen community in one fell swoop. Your in-fiction video may promote your player organization, an NPC group, an in-game product, your community-driven event, or whatever else you can think of that would be a fun in-fiction addition to the show. The commercials can be serious or funny. You can even send in comedy skits or short machinimas; whatever you like as long as you're bringing the Community Booth spirit to CitizenCon 2951. Just bear in mind there are some important criteria to consider, so read the rules carefully.
