Make Just Cause 3's Launch Trailer and You Could Win a Gaming PC

Just Cause 3 developer Avalanche Studios and publisher Square Enix are giving fans an opportunity to win a prize package worth $5000 by creating a "1-2 minute trailer that captures all the action, energy, and atmosphere" of the upcoming open-world action game.

The trailer will be judged based on three categories: Best Action, Best Use of Audio, and Best Humor. From these three categories, an overall winner will be chosen. On top of winning the prize, this person's creation will be used as the official Just Cause 3 launch trailer.

Entrants can use footage from the online Creative Kit provided by Avalanche, or can shoot their own bespoke footage. Licensed music from Razihel is also available to use. For those that don't have audio editing software, Cakewalk’s Sonar is available to download for free from Steam.

The prize package includes a gaming PC featuring a 6th generation Intel Core processor, Neat Microphones, KRK Monitors, speakers, headphones, and more.
