[2019] Path of Exile Hideout Competition

It's been a long time (more than three years!) since we ran the inaugural Hideout Competition. With the recent Hideout changes introduced in Betrayal, we decided that now is a perfect moment for another one! The winners will be rewarded with great prizes, including Shaper T-shirts, Brutus prints and lots of hideout decorations!

Guidelines

• Your hideout must be created after the release of the Betrayal expansion.


• Hideouts that have previously been featured in the Hideout Showcase news series or submitted to the Hideout Showcase forum are not eligible for entry.


• Your hideout must be your own work.
• Your hideout must be safe to showcase (nothing lewd or offensive. Keep it classy, Exiles!)
• Submit your hideout from the account that the hideout is on. Please leave the hideout intact until the judging is complete, so that we can check it.

Competition Times

The competition starts at the time of this post and will end on Monday the 4th of February at 9am (NZT). We'll announce the winners sometime in the days following this date. Winners will be chosen based on creativity and how they've represented their chosen theme. To keep it fair, we will be selecting a mixture of hideouts with hideout decoration microtransactions and those without.

Best of luck to everyone! We can't wait to see what you create.

If you like to make your hideouts stand out, be sure to participate in our new Hideout Competition! We have an exciting mix of prizes available for the winners including t-shirts, art books and microtransactions!
