We are back with our fourth Best View in SWTOR contest! As with previous years, we’re looking forward to all the creative shots our players will be submitting. Starting today, players can submit screenshots taken anywhere on five select SWTOR locations. We’ll choose the screenshot that we feel captures the essence of that environment, so get creative! One winner will be chosen per location for a total of five winning submissions.

The winning submissions will then be turned into Stronghold decorations and distributed by the Anniversary event vendor in-game! The five eligible locations for this contest are:

• Ziost
• CZ-198

• The Black Hole
