Valve declared open the competition for the 2016 Short Film contest with no less than $43,500 in prize money on the line.
The submissions must be done in the Steam Workshop, with entry open until July 26, and the top ten highest-rated will be nominated in The International 2016 Battle Pass for a final community vote. Similar to last year’s competition, the ten films will be showcased during The International 6 broadcast and each nominee is guaranteed a $500 prize. However, the top three filmmakers will take home a bigger share of the money.
