Red Dead Redemption 2

Bannerlord Creative Competition

  • Comment
To celebrate the release of the Modding Kit earlier this month, our friends at TaleWorlds are holding a modding competition with some truly amazing prizes up for grabs! 

There are 3 events you can participate in, each with their own rules and prizes. We've added the basics of each event to this article, along with links to the full details.

Just so you know, this contest isn't directly affiliated with Nexus Mods, we just think it's really cool and that our community will enjoy it. 


Update - 1st December 2020
The deadline for all competitions has been extended from 11th December 2020 to 26th February 2021 23:59 (UTC+3) to give you extra time to refine your scenes. 

TaleWorlds are also working on some new updates to the Modding Kit and introducing a Photo Mode to the game. 



Scene Design Contest

Modders are challenged to use the new Modding Kit to create a village scene using the Scene Editor tools. If you're wondering what counts as a "Village Scene", you can check out this handy page with a list of all the elements you'll need to create one. An important point to note is that your location must be original and not based on a third-party IP (so no Lord of the Rings or Skyrim settlements!). You can read the full contest details here, including how to submit your entries. 



Scene Design Contest Prizes:
1st Place - BANNERLORD CUSTOM PC by Intel®
2nd Place - Intel® NUC 9 Extreme Kit
3rd Place - Intel® Core™ i7-8700K Processor

Screenshot Contest

The final contest is a perfect fit for users who love to share their screenshots. TaleWorlds have said, "we want entrants to imagine themselves as a war reporter and capture an iconic moment from their adventures". As with the 2D art competition, all you need to do to enter is post your screenshot on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram with the hashtag #BannerlordCreativeContest. The top 10 entries will earn themselves a Bannerlord-themed mouse mat (pictured below) to liven up your desk with. Full details and FAQ here.

Please also consider sharing your screenshots in the new "Creative Contest - Screenshots" category in the image share here at Nexus Mods.




The event is live right now and runs until 23:59 (UTC +3) on 26th February 2021, with the winners scheduled to be announced shortly after. Good luck everyone!

      I'm surprised there's just one comment here. For the 2D contest I'm going to try and brush up on my painting skills and make something presentable. Good luck to all the contestants!
