In 2020 we had a 35% increase in the total amount of entries due for judging compared to the previous three years. Thoroughly judging entries is time consuming. In 2021 we expanded the judging team to include more community members, each specialized in the various entry categories. Entries marked as Incomplete by the end of the Expo deadline will not be showcased. We will also improve the presentation of the descriptions, including when being downloaded from the site, as this was another issue that had been reported from last year too.Īs a general note to anyone who submits, please ensure that you follow the instructions given on the website, filling in the required details where asked to, as well as marking your entry as Complete in order to submit.Įntries marked as Incomplete by the end of the Contest deadline will be moved to the Expo.

To address an issue encountered during last year's Contest Week, this year we will also offer a separate upload area where entrants can offer additional files where required for Judges and Media Panel such as save files to access all content they want to show. Unfortunately due to the site developer's time constraints, we were unable to offer it for 2021, however we do intend to have this up and running this year, as this will benefit the Contest and Expo entries massively.

Last year, we engaged with mod loader developers to offer one-click installs of entries on the SHC website when the entries are available to download during the Contest Week, for ease of access and to ensure people play the correctly entered mod builds. No off-site links will be permitted again.Īgain, our download system allowed for entries to be downloaded without putting any strain on the website, and at no point did the site go down during the week. Please see the 2021 trailer as an example, which was created by redhotsonic.Īs per last year, all entries will be uploaded to the site.

Please stay tuned for information on how to submit for the trailer, and when to do this. Like with previous years, there will be a Contest Week trailer. Whilst we have plenty of English language content creators, we could always do with expanding our non-English reach: if you have an established platform with a good audience that can help out with this, do contact us.Īs with last year, we may offer stream time coinciding with the Media Panel streamers for entry developers to showcase their own entry (Developer Streams), however last year's offer was not taken up much by entrants. Therefore, if you are a content creator and we think you would be a great fit to our lineup, we will contact you to invite you on board, however please understand that we do not have the capacity for every person out there. The Media Panel is a stacked lineup that continues from previous years of the Contest Week, as a result it can be hard for us to open stream space to more people as we do not want to overlap other streams unless we have no choice. We'll also have news coverage much like last year. In addition to streaming, there will also be dedicated YouTube uploads of games being played too, the Media Panel is not just for streamers. If you want to show it off to the biggest audience possible, the Contest Week is your best time for it.Īs before, we'll have an extensive list of streamers playing the entries during the Contest Week - these will be announced closer to the time of the Contest when they have been finalised. If you're planning to debut your submission to the public you can do it then, however nobody can be stopped from releasing earlier. Like the last few years, the public will have a chance to view this year's entries, download the hacks and vote for Community Trophies which are only applicable to Contest entries.

This did not seem to cause any issues, therefore we'll be using similar dates for this year.

In 2021, we ran the Contest Week in the middle of October.
