POSTCARDS FROM THE CONTINENT

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Screenshot Contest

ABOUT

We’ve traveled far and wide across the Continent, hunting down deadly monsters and enjoying many grand adventures — but now it’s time to slow down and soak in its full beauty with our screenshot contest “Postcards from the Continent”. You don’t need magic to create amazing shots from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, all you need is your artistic eye and some dark fantasy inspiration!

You can submit your entries to the contest until January 10th.

CATEGORIES

Take a screenshot matching any of the three categories described below. You can submit one shot per category, but keep in mind that you can only win one prize throughout the entire contest.

Category 1: Scenes from the Trail (World)

Gloomy marshes, sunny fields, snow-capped mountains, forests brimming with animal chitters, cities full of life, and much more… The Continent is a beautiful place filled with picturesque views, so capture the beauty of the Witcher world and share it for all to see!

Category 2: Travelers on the Way (Characters)

On your Path you’ll encounter people of countless professions and walks of life. Each one of them, from powerful sorceresses and plotting politicians to hard-working villagers and Scoia’tael commandos, represents the rich diversity of this world. Capture them with a screenshot and show us the various faces of the Continent!

Category 3: The Path of the Warrior (Combat)

This world’s beauty can be treacherous — after all, it’s as dangerous as it is stunning. Threats lurk behind every corner, be it wild animals, ruthless bandits, or bloodthirsty monsters. But witchers can’t be stopped by such a frivolous emotion as fear, they face danger head-on! Show this ferocity by taking a shot in the midst of battle!
