Our latest Unreal community challenge has been announced!

This themed challenge is focused on everything visual effects (VFX). We want to see what out-of-this-world magic you can weave with the Niagara VFX system in Unreal Engine.

Starting on Thursday, February 2 at 2 PM ET, when we kick off the event on Inside Unreal, individuals and students have four weeks to create a video entry inspired by the theme, Spellar Performance, which must be submitted by March 2, 2023 at 7 PM ET. The Grand Prize winner will receive $1,000 cash, plus prizes from Houdini, Sketchfab, and Artstation, not to mention some fancy swag from Epic; first- and second-place runner-ups will also receive prizes.

All good!

We are not planning on moving away from itch.io for the MegaJam. We know we could organize these challenges through itch, but it is typically a game, and interactive experience platform--the challenges (to date) have been video format submissions.

Having it be directly on the forums also means we can interact better with folks participating and engage with their content.
