Win real gaming gear. Skill, not luck.
WinGamingGear is the Global Gaming Guild's contest programme: themed gaming photography and video contests, judged blind by named experts against a published rubric. No draws, no mystery boxes. The best capture wins.
Entering is free for every member. Winners are announced on the Global Gaming Guild with full scores published.
Clutch or Bust
Show us the moment everything was on the line and you delivered. Submit a clip of 30 seconds or less that captures a clutch play in any game, whether it's a 1v4 ace, a last-second objective grab, or a comeback nobody saw coming. We're judging how hard it was, how cleanly you pulled it off, and how much it makes people lose their minds. **Rules** - Submit one video clip of 30 seconds or less in MP4 or MOV format, 1080p or higher, with a maximum file size of 500 MB. - Performance clips must include raw, unedited gameplay footage as proof; light trimming to hit the 30 s limit is fine, but no speed changes, spliced footage, or added effects that alter the play. - Entries must be new to this contest: no clips previously submitted to any WinGamingGear contest. - Do not remove or obscure watermarks, game HUD elements, or platform identifiers on your footage. - Entrants must be 18 or older, and all entries must follow the WinGamingGear standard code of conduct, with no cheating, hate speech, or harassment. - Entries open Monday 12 October 2026 at 00:00 ET and close Sunday 18 October 2026 at 23:59 ET; late entries are not judged.
