WEBTOON and Riot Games are teaming up to host a VALORANT fan contest where creators can submit original artwork and webcomics depicting their own interpretations of VALORANT agent “Fade” and her existing audio drama, “The Sting.” The previously released audio drama delivered the official story, and now VALORANT fans and creators can visually re-imagine “The Sting” story as-seen through their own creative visual style. Fans can submit their artwork or 20-panel webcomics to WEBTOON, from August 23 through September 18, 2022. A panel of judges from WEBTOON and Riot Games will review and evaluate submissions, concluding with ten winners.
“WEBTOON is home to some of the biggest creators, titles, and fandoms in comics, and Riot Games is home to some of the biggest titles in gaming and esports,” said Jini Cho, Director of Digital and Partnerships, WEBTOON. “Our global communities both love incredible action storytelling told through an engaging visual medium. I can’t wait to see the creativity the WEBTOON creator community brings to VALORANT’s ‘The Sting’ storyline.”
The contest will award ten winners total, including: four Grand Prize winners, one People’s Choice winner, and five Runners-Up winners. The four Grand Prize winners and the one People’s Choice winner will receive a one-hour virtual brainstorming session with members of VALORANT’s Premium Content team, where they will be able to ask questions and discuss ideas for a new Gun Buddy to be included in a future VALORANT Battle Pass. All ten winners will be featured on WEBTOON and VALORANT social media pages and VALORANT’s community update page.
