WWVFX For Games Contest Now Open Worldwide

By Josh PiedraOctober 1, 2021

Agni-Flare Co., Ltd. has started accepting submissions for the WWVFX CONTEST FOR GAMES 2021 (hereinafter “the Contest”), a global, real-time VFX design competition put on by the company.

¥2.0 million in total prize money (~$18,000 USD)! As of Friday, October 1st, the WWVFX CONTEST FOR GAMES 2021 has started.

A lineup of nine different awards! Compete with others around the world for the category-free top prize

The Contest is accepting submissions of works in two major categories: Student and General. There are a total of nine different awards; the Student category and the General category each have an Explosion section, for works that regard explosions, and a Free section, for works on any topic. Besides the prize money, we also foresee that the winners of the category awards will receive trophies and, in addition, wonderful prizes from the supporting companies, things such as promotional items, software licenses, stickers, and T-shirts. What’s more, there will also be a Gold Award, a top award that submissions in all categories and sections will be eligible for. 

The person who is awarded the Gold Award will receive ¥1.0 million, the highest prize awarded by the Contest. During the Contest, we plan to stream special seminar videos from the supporting companies and schools, and anyone who wishes will be able to watch these videos, so be sure to check and follow the official website and social media accounts. Once the judging for the Contest is complete, we will be streaming the awards ceremony on the web, giving you the opportunity to witness in real time the emergence of new stars and new forms of expression.

We hope that, spurred on by ambition for success, you will take up the challenge and submit one of your works to the Contest.

Based on nine rules and decided by nine judges

Submissions evaluated rigorously by a panel composed of representatives of leading companies in the industry and artists active at the forefront of the field

In the Contest, submitted works will be examined in a unique way: they must comply with nine rules and be evaluated by nine judges. 
The evaluation will be carried out by representatives of leading companies in the industry and by VFX artists active in the field. With their professional perspective, the judges will assign point scores to the artistic elements of each work and subject the works to rigorous evaluation. These top artists will examine the works fairly and thoroughly, ensuring that the quality of each work is appraised properly. 

For details such as the submission rules, the judging process, and updated information, please check the Contest’s official website: http://wwvfx-contest.com/en/
