Howdy cowboys and cowgirls,

Once again we are very proud to announce the celebration of a very special day: The birthday of our beloved game The West!
It’s been 8 years now since we opened the gates to the wild wild west for you to explore!
Since then all of you have solved a lot of quests, ridden many miles on your loyal horse, donkey or even on a raptor and helped to build up the Wandercircus. You finished lots of jobs, probably gathered an enormous amount of items, dueled all kinds of villains successfully and even withstood exciting adventures and Fort battles with your allies!
Maybe you also had to recover from serious injuries or you even found a snake in your boots from time to time – but that’s nothing a dedicated player of The West could stop!

So shout out a big yeehaw and mark the 30th of April in your calendars because we prepared a contest for you to start the celebration:

Have you ever dreamed to produce the next blockbuster of the western cinemas? Well, now is your chance!

Celebrating the 8th birthday of The West we would like you to create a video of 30 to 90 seconds about only one topic: The West!

It can be real content, it can be in-game content or you can create an animated film of a western hero finding his fate in the prairie of The West. You could create a silent film, with sound, black-and-white film or colored film but also think about what would fit better to the style of The West!

You could also film your friends, family and pets – everything is possible as long as it fits in our terms and conditions and is related to The West.

The rewards will be:
- 1st place: a unique item + 1500 Nuggets + exclusive title: "Film Director"
- 2nd place: a unique item + 1200 Nuggets + exclusive title: "Film Director"
- 3rd place: a unique item + 1000 Nuggets + exclusive title: "Film Director"
- Market winner: a unique item + 1000 Nuggets + exclusive title: "Film Director"

You are not that skilled in making a movie? No problem! Even if you won't be chosen as one of the winners you will get a little surprise reward!

If it might be the case that you can’t hand in any movie you will still have the possibility in taking part at this contest by voting for the three best videos and the market winner on our forums and social media channels!

Grab a camera and start filming! We are looking forward to your ideas. And don't forget to stay tuned - in the next days a few more surprises are waiting for you to celebrate even more.

Submit your entry by posting here!
Don't forget to add the statement listed in ¶4 of the Terms and Conditions (see the post below).

Yeehaw,
Your The West Team!

Dear community,

The submission phase for the video contest is now over, and unfortunately we did not receive any valid submissions from the Beta community. Because of this, we'll skip the community voting page for the best Beta submission. Of course everyone is allowed to vote in the public vote for the final winner, that will be hosted on Facebook on June 11th.

Kind regards,
Your The West Team
