CD Projekt Red Announces Witcher 3 Christmas Modding Contest

Make your festive mod today and you might win a sword.

CD Projekt Red has announced that it is teaming up with mod repository NexusMods to deliver a contest for fans of The Witcher 3.

The studio is inviting modders to create an outfit or holiday element for any one of the characters in The Witcher 3. The item you create can range from anything as simple as a christmas hat or a candy cane.

Here's what you need to do:

Once you have your mod ready, just upload it to Nexus Mods with "Witcher Mod Contest" tag, available under the "file admin", and contact us via the contact form below. Please include the link to your Mod — submissions without a link will be invalid.

The winner of the modding contest will receive a one-of-a-kind custom made Witcher sword, which you can see below.

CD Projekt Red says that the legendary swordsmith Hattori himself forged it. Before you join the contest, be sure to check whether it's even possible for you to receive the sword, because international shipping restrictions might prohibit sharp objects, especially swords, from coming through customs.

The contest starts today and ends on January 5, 2016 and is open to an international audience. You can submit your entry here.
