ARKathon Contest Update:
In response to valuable feedback from our dedicated ARK author community, we are thrilled to introduce a new track to the ARKathon contest, aimed at spotlighting community favorites and undiscovered gems. We have added to our prize pool an additional $20,000, creating an opportunity for five standout mods to win $4,000 each!
This initiative allows authors to shine a light on exceptional mods they believe deserve wider recognition. To allow everyone to have a chance at making a difference, we have extended the voting period across all categories, including the newly added Community Gems. Voting will conclude on March 25th and the winners’ announcement will occur on March 28th.
This extension ensures that every voice is heard and that the very best of the ARK modding community is celebrated!
