For prizes which include work by a community member, a certain amount of communication needs to take place to determine a suitable type and amount of work. In many cases, expectations of the amount of work which can be achieved in a given timeframe may be inaccurate. Be sure to discuss with the prize-giver prior to selection if you are unsure of what can be done.

Aims

  • to produce small-scale (2-10 hour) contributions which can be shared as useful mod resources which can slot into a variety of mods.
  • to encourage new modders to try new areas of dragon age modding.
  • to encourage peer-assisted learning of the toolset and other modding.
  • to provide constructive feedback on created content.
  • to enrich and reward community spirit.

Prize System

The prizes will vary from competition to competition, and groups may be used in future contests (see below). A points system is used so that winners may choose their prize(s) to suit their needs. For more information, please see the Prizes Page

Sharing Work

The following provision is made to ensure work can be shared for the benefit of all:

"by entering this competition you agree to share your work for other community members to benefit from. Where appropriate, source files should be shared. Others may use and modify your work in their Dragon Age mods, though are encouraged to give credit. As the entries are judged, local copies will be saved and if your work is taken down, you allow for it to be re-uploaded, crediting the work in your name".

The Community Contest Catalogue lists content by category and provides links to the content as well as contests related to each category. It is to be maintained by the Judges to ensure work is always available.
