Submittings & Rewards
If you decide to create a short film, you will have to submit it to the Stream Workshop. After that, people can go there, discuss it, and vote for the best films. Once the voting is over, Valve will check those with the best rating and will feature them in the Dota client. Furthermore, players can also see them at The International 2025.
Aside from fame, those who receive the best rating will also get cash prizes. The best film will receive $25,000, whereas number 2 will get $10,000. The one who finished 3rd receives $5000, whereas those between the 4th and 10th place will only get $500.
We’ll monitor everyone to determine which short film will win, so follow us for more details.
