The weather is heating up for many of us, and it’s that time of year again to get outdoors and bask in the sun! Fishing, camping, picnics, trips to the beach, or relaxing poolside – summer is here! 

Creators, along with the new Fortnite Season comes No Sweat Summer, and this is where you come in! Show us your best summer-themed island and if it meets the guidelines and criteria below, you could see it featured in Discover. 

No-Sweat Summer means chill, relaxed fun summer vibes - think water parks, fishing contests, camping, and adventures, not high-intensity combat.
