Hi everyone, 

I'm pleased to announce that we're bringing back the Best View in SWTOR contest for a third year in a row! All the details can be found here. Please be sure to read the submission details in full! Those of you who are familiar with the contest will know that there are 10 select planets that we are accepting submissions for.  This year, the 10 planets are: 

• Balmorra
• Belsavis
• Corellia
• Dantooine
• Ilum
• Nar Shaddaa
• Onderon

I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone's images.   We've enabled uploading attachments to the forums, so it's easier for everyone to share their creative shots. Feel free to post them here though make sure you submit your email(s) to [email protected] first before sharing them publicly!  Good luck to all the participants!

Time would be better spent fixing all the issues in the game instead of a screenshot contest.

Clearing up a misconception here! This is a community run event, and it is one that is now entering its third year. The frames were done and built in the first year so the only lifting done on the team each following year is adding the winning shots to the event vendor. Essentially, that makes it so there's little impact on the design team and the heavier lifting is on the community team. So this is a fun project that community owns and the way the contest was built allows for others team to focus on things such as creating new content, polishing current content, and/or reviewing and fix bugs. Hope that helps!

I like the screenshot contest. Community activities should be heavily encouraged, we need more of them. What about an outfit contest or a stronghold contest? Or even a PvP tournament event? 

Feel free to pitch ideas in the Suggestion Box sub-forum. Some things to keep in mind would be how would they ideally be run, what's the criteria for eligible submissions, etc...

i have no idea why  @JackieKo  didn't make an official  forum post from Broadsword  here ( maybe too busy i dunno )  to CONGRATS  all  'Best View' winners , but yeah just in case anyone missed the  clicky within today's game Launcher-->  https://www.swtor.com/info/news/article/20231127

Been running around a lot behind the scenes, so thanks for posting the update!

Believe me, every year it's been difficult for the team to select winners. Every submission was so good.   I hope everyone shares their Best View images here!
