Canada Amateur PC Modding Competition 2017 Launched
Sign-up is Open Now Until November 6th
Canada finally has their own modding competition! Hosted by DazMode, the signups for the Canada Amateur PC Modding Competition 2017 start September 4th and ends on November 6th. As the name says, this is a competition for amateurs so that there is less barrier for entry and is more accessible. That means no sponsored projects are allowed which are unfair for beginners.
