Valve, which recently launched its first handheld gaming console called the Steam Deck, has now announced a $1 million contest for Counter Strike: Global Offensive. The Washington-headquartered game developer is looking for new weapon skins for CS:GO and this contest is a way to lure designers and creators. There will be 10 winning entries in this contest, each eligible for the prize worth $1,000,000, which is roughly Rs 7.5 crore. Their design for the weapon skins will be featured in the game. According to Valve, both individuals and teams can participate in the Counter Strike: Global Offensive’s art contest. Each participant needs to have a “non-limited” Steam account to enter the contest, for which the company has set up a dedicated website. There are 10 original dream and nightmare-themed weapon finishes that need design, hence 10 slots for winners. However, a participant can send in as many designs as they want for the contest. One participant - either an individual or a team - can have more than one winning skin.
