Share with us the unique interpretation of your VALORANT fan art, which embodies the thrill of those nail-biting clutch moments, using your distinctive artistic style. Incorporate elements of the VALORANT Champions Paris trophy into your artwork as a tribute to the grandeur of this event.

Regarding the esports entry, please submit to Riot your top-quality video showcasing expert gameplay from Valorant Champions Tour (VCT) events on a global scale or international leagues. This could be a collection of stunning player moments, a slowed-down edit, or any uniquely creative approach; all are acceptable for submission.

In summary, for the cosplay section, simply share an image showcasing you dressed up as a VALORANT character. Feel free to enhance the photo creatively, but make sure that both you and your cosplay remain visible without any artificial intelligence being utilized in the process.

VALORANT Champions of Champions timeline

The Champions of Champions competition spans from August 15th to October 5th. You can start sending in your entries between August 15th and August 22nd. To join, just submit your work on the VALORANT FTW page; they’ll have a place for submissions ready as we get closer to that time.

On that specific page, you’ll find all necessary instructions and regulations. Later, you’ll be expected to share your entry on one of the listed social media platforms. However, further details about this process will be given at a later time this summer. For now, you can familiarize yourself with the general guidelines by clicking here.

Selection round

Once the submission period concludes, a panel of Riot judges will pick out 25 top entries from each category and region, which will move on to the voting stages. The judges will look at factors such as creativity, how well the entry relates to the theme, quality of execution, and adherence to guidelines when making their selections. Entries that don’t follow the general or specific guidelines for each category may be excluded from further rounds, regardless of their originality.

Voting rounds

The competition will proceed through three distinct stages. Participants will progress based on a blend of public votes from the community and assessments made by a panel of Riot judges. Although the judging standards stay consistent, an element of the selection process will now be influenced by fan ballots. Ultimately, it’s the judges who choose which entries move forward to the next round, while spectators can cast their votes for their preferred submissions from each region.

Group Stage: September 12-22

• The top 25 for each region will be featured on the Champions of Champions page to vote.
