Announcing the Cosplay Competition at The International, featuring a $15,000 prize pool up for grabs during the Main Event of the year’s premier Dota 2 tournament.

We invite all dedicated cosplayers to craft their best Dota-themed costumes and make the journey to Seattle in August for the Main Event of The International. Contestants do not need to be event ticket holders—all cosplayers who register to participate will be admitted to a Prejudging Phase near the event venue. The Performance Finals will then take place on the Main Event stage to determine who will walk away with the winner’s share of the cash prize.

Regardless of placement in the competition, all registered cosplayers who meet entry requirements will also receive this year's Dota 2 Cosplay Crest upon appearing in cosplay during the Prejudging Phase of the competition.

As with last year, the 2017 Cosplay Competition will be administered by PGL. Please visit PGL's sign-up page to register for more information.

The International 2017 is just over the tournament horizon, and this year's event will have an aquatic theme. With that in mind, we invite all Dota 2 Workshop creators to dive deep in search of sunken treasures to include in this year's Collector's Cache. We're fishing for a collection of items that are equally at home hiding in the murky waters of Dark Reef or swimming in the possession of the Deep Ones.

To that effect, we are now officially accepting submissions from Community artists that will be considered for inclusion in The International 2017 Collector’s Cache. Don't feel restricted to heroes that already have an established aquatic connection—we're interested to see how you hook in as many designs as possible. As in the past, we would like to ask artists to avoid the use of any concepts that involve human skulls, blood, and gore.

Make sure to mark your submissions with the "Collector’s Cache 2017" tag when tendering items to the Workshop. All submissions must be on the Dota 2 Workshop by May 15. We encourage all Dota fans to regularly visit the Workshop and vote through the Queue to ensure your voices are heard in the selection process.

In the meantime, our partners at WeLoveFine are also ready to cast their net and haul in some new designs for this year's Dota 2 merchandise release. If you've got a concept you think will catch on with fans, submit your design to the Workshop with the "Merchandise" tag and see how much community support you can reel in.
