14 DAY TRIAL // Bohemia Interactive just announced the beginning of Make Arma Not War, a content creation contest open to the modding public, featuring a combined prize pool of €500K ($680K).
Building upon the Arma series' strong heritage in modding, mod developers are invited to compete in four categories: Total Modification, Singleplayer Game Mode, Multiplayer Game Mode and Addon.
Cash prizes total a whopping €500K ($680K) and are spread across the four different categories, ranging in value from €20,000 ($27K) to €200,000 ($270K).
The headline prize of €200,000 ($270K) belongs to the Total Modification category and will be received by a sole victor. The other categories will divide their prizes between 1st place – €50,000 ($68K), 2nd place – €30,000 ($40K) and 3rd place – €20,000 ($27K).
Applications and submissions will be enabled on the competition's official webpage during 2014 and contestants will be able to develop and polish their submissions until October 2014.
