Champions of Champions contest
Riot Games wants to celebrate the VALORANT creative community with the Champions of Champions contest. "Whether you’re an artist, cosplayer, frag-reel editor, or all of the above, we want you to show us what you've got and submit your work for an opportunity to represent your region," they announced. There are three categories you can submit your work to: Fan Art, Cosplay, and Esports Edits.
The contest is open to participants from all regions except for Crimea, Donetsk, Luhansk, Cuba, Iran, Myanmar, North Korea, Sudan, Syria, Venezuela, Quebec, or any other region where this contest is void.
Categories
Show your VALORANT fan art that captures exactly how the clutch moments feel like in your own style. In some way, as a celebration of VALORANT Champions Paris, add the trophy in some way, shape, or form.
As for the esports edit, send Riot your best video using professional VCT gameplay from Global Events or International Leagues. Whether it's a compilation of your favorite player shots or a slow motion edit, or any insanely creative edit, it's valid for submission.
Finally, for the cosplay category, all you need to do is submit a photo of yourself in a VALORANT cosplay. You can also add some spice to the picture and edit it, as long as you and your cosplay are clearly visible and there is no use of AI.
