The Early Access release date for WARDOGS is inching closer and closer. When it arrives on September 10, players can finally jump in and start raising hell on high-octane battlefields alongside their squadmates. To celebrate the game's arrival, the developers at Bulkhead have announced a special competition: a WARDOGS clip contest that will see one lucky winner earn some life-changing money! Want to know how to enter, when the deadline is, and the contest rules for yourself? We have all the details below.

WARDOGS Clip Contest: How to Enter, Prizes, & Deadlines

How to Enter

First and foremost, you need to be playing WARDOGS to capture clips. Clips from those who participated in the game's betas will be accepted as well, but you'll be able to try capturing your prize-winning clip on September 10 when the game goes live with Early Access. Once you have the game, all you need to do is take a screen recording of any moment that you think is noteworthy. Something skillful, crazy, funny, or unexpected. Just make sure the clip is under two minutes long and that you upload it to X, YouTube, TikTok, or Instagram with the hashtag #WARDOGS100K and tag @WARDOGS. You also must fill out this form on the WARDOGS website in order to be eligible. Luckily, you can submit as many clips as you want! So, if you think plenty of exciting things are happening in your WARDOGS matches, why not stack the odds in your favor with even more entries?

Prizes, Deadlines, & Rules

There will be 100 winners at the end of the WARDOGS clip contest. 99 players will receive $100,000 in-game cash. This will undoubtedly serve the lucky players for many future WARDOGS excursions. However, the single grand prize winner will receive $100,000 in real-life cash. With so much money on the line, it's important to keep the contest's deadlines in mind. Again, the game will enter Early Access on September 10. From that point until October 8, 2026, 23:59 BST, players can submit as many clips as they like, subject to the entry rules listed above. Then, sometime after October 15, all of the winners will be announced and have their clips assembled into a WARDOGS clip contest compilation. The winning clips will be chosen by a panel of judges based on the following criteria:

• Teamwork - Squad play and communication
• Decision Making - Unusual choices in the sandbox battlefield
• All-out Warfare - Large-scale action and chaos specific to WARDOGS
• Creativity - Standing out through execution, entertainment, or gameplay
• Only in WARDOGS Factor - Combining the above into something the game alone produces
