War Thunder's 236th Screenshot Competition Asks for Big Guns
Gaijin's latest community contest rewards the best in-game captures of heavy-caliber vehicles with 300 GE per winner.
War Thunder's recurring Steam screenshot competition has reached its 236th edition, this time themed around high-caliber weaponry across all vehicle classes.
What changed
The theme and eligibility rules are specific:
- Ground and naval: vehicles with a caliber over 130mm qualify.
- Aircraft: caliber of 35mm or more required.
- Submissions must be tagged #WTscreen236 — the title field may contain no other text.
- Deadline for entries is 14 August.
- Six winners will be chosen: three by community vote, three by the organizers' judges.
- Each winner receives 300 GE.
- Rewards are delivered within 14 working days.
- Only raw in-game screenshots are accepted; external editing software and filters such as Nvidia Ansel are prohibited, though War Thunder's built-in filters and replay functionality are permitted.
- A fairness rule applies: artists may only win by popular vote once per four competitions.
The competition is open through the War Thunder Steam Community Hub. Winners from the previous 235th edition have already been announced, with linked entries visible on the community hub.
For players who spend time in War Thunder's replay or photo modes, this is a low-friction opportunity to earn in-game currency for work they may already be doing.
