No off-site links will be permitted again. Please see the 2022 trailer as an example, which was created by Blue Vivacity, filling in for redhotsonic who was unavailable that year, whose 2021 trailer can be found here.Īs per last year, all entries will be uploaded to the site. Please stay tuned for information on how to submit for the trailer, who will be making this year's trailer, and when to do this. Like with previous years, there will be a Contest Week trailer. If you have an established platform with a good audience that can help out with this, do contact us. We experimented with more Non-English streams in 2022 and the door remains open to expand this with more languages. 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. We considered the possibility of moving SHC outwith the middle of October but have decided to keep it as the most suitable week.
