Quick Answer
Create a WARDOGS clip no longer than two minutes, publish it on an accepted platform with both #WARDOGS100K and @WARDOGS, then submit the official form before October 8 at 23:59 BST. A social post alone is not a completed entry.
Confirmed Facts
The official rules allow multiple entries. The winner announcement is planned for October 15 or later. First prize is $100,000 in real cash; 99 runners-up receive $100,000 in in-game cash, which is a different prize type.
What Players Search For
Players usually need the deadline, accepted platforms, required tags, clip length, submission form, and prize distinction. Those verified items are kept together below.
How to Use This Guide
Complete the checklist in order, then read the eligibility and safety section before publishing. Keep the source file and proof of posting until winners are announced.
WARDOGS has launched an official clip competition with one $100,000 real-cash grand prize. To enter, publish a WARDOGS clip of no more than two minutes on an accepted social platform, include #WARDOGS100K, tag @WARDOGS, and then send the post link through the form on the official contest website.
Entry Checklist
- Record a real WARDOGS moment from your own play session.
- Keep the submitted clip at or below the official two-minute limit.
- Post it publicly on X, YouTube, TikTok, or Instagram.
- Include
#WARDOGS100Kand tag@WARDOGSin the social post. - Open the official contest page and submit the matching post link plus the requested contact information.
- Read the terms and country restrictions before pressing Submit.
Posting the hashtag alone is not the complete entry flow. The official page explicitly asks entrants to complete its submission form so the organiser has contact details. Multiple submissions are allowed, but each one still needs to follow the published steps.
Deadline and Winner Date
The submission deadline is October 8, 2026 at 23:59 BST. The official page says winners will be announced on October 15, or shortly after. Treat those as the current published dates and recheck the contest site before a last-minute upload in case the organiser posts an amendment.
Prize Structure
The prize wording has an important distinction. The number-one featured clip poster receives $100,000 in real-life cash. The other 99 runners-up in the announced top 100 receive $100,000 of in-game cash, not $100,000 in real currency each.
Do not describe a view count as an automatic winning threshold. The site says reach and interaction can make a clip easier to discover, but it does not publish a guaranteed views-to-win formula.
Eligible Clip Ideas
The official page asks for funny moments, skilled plays, heroic saves, major failures, and scenes that feel unique to WARDOGS. Categories shown by the entry form include Only in WARDOGS, Absolute Cinema, Jackpot Moment, Heroic Play, Epic Fail, Funny Moment, Pure Skill, and Other.
Use footage you are entitled to submit. Avoid music, overlays, or third-party clips you do not have permission to use. A strong entry should show the event clearly, reach the point quickly, and preserve enough HUD or match context for viewers to understand what happened.
Safety and Eligibility
Country restrictions apply. The public form asks for personal and contact information, so enter only through wardogs100k.com, verify the domain before typing, and read the linked terms. This wiki cannot decide age, residency, tax, employment, or prize eligibility for an entrant.
The competition is separate from Steam access. Winning, entering, posting a hashtag, or receiving social engagement does not grant Closed Beta 02 access or change the September 10 Early Access entitlement.
FAQ
Is posting the clip enough to enter? No. The official submission form is a separate required step after publication.
Can I submit more than one clip? Yes. The official page permits multiple entries, but each entry still needs to satisfy the platform, tag, duration, eligibility, and form requirements.
Sources and Last Checked
The deadline, platforms, tags, form sequence, multiple-entry rule, winner timing, and prize distinction were checked against the official contest page on 2026-09-04. Country eligibility and full legal terms should be rechecked immediately before submission.
