Always wanted to have your amazing dance moves immortalized in a video game? You are in luck, as you now have the chance to realize your dream with Fortnite's boogiedown contest.

Fortnite Wants You to Help Create its Next Emote With Boogiedown Contest

One of the biggest draws of Fortnite Battle Royale is the multitude of emotes that players can earn and or pruchase that inject even more fun into the popular title. I mean what is better than throwing out the Flippin' Sexy emote or the Take The L dance after securing a victory royale. While all of the emotes that have been included in Fortnite have been well recieved by the community, the developers are now looking for the community to help them in creating the next emote to the hit the game. 

With the boogiedown contest, anyone now has the chance to see their dance moves being added into the popular battle royale game, as an emote that could potentially be used by millions of players across the world. Entering the contest is no hassle, as you all have to do is film yourself or your friends dance moves and share the video on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter with the hashtag #boogiedown. You will have until April 10th to submit your moves that you believe are worthy enough of being made into an emote. 

Judging will be based on the following criteria: 

  • "Fun - Does your dance fit the playful personality of Fortnite?"
  • "Originality - Is your dance original?"
  • "Creativity - How unique and imaginative is your dance?"

100 winners will be selected, but only one worthy boogier will be awarded the grand prize that consists of their dance being created as an emote in Fortnite Battle Royale, a real life boogie bomb, 10,000 V-Bucks and all of the game's disco cosmetic items, which include Funk Ops, Sparkle Specialist, Disco Brawl and the Disco Glider. All of the other prize tiers can be found on the contest's announcement page. 

With the likes of Tyler "Ninja" Belvin's Pon Pon dance and Drake's Hotline Bling moves most likely being submitted along with thousands of other awesome dance moves by the entire community, there is sure to be a massive amount of competition. However, you can't win if you don't try, so get those dancing shoes on and dance your way to being crowned the boogiedown champion.

You can find the full set of rules here.
