A third-party short film contest for The International 2026 has been announced

A third-party short film contest will be held in August to coincide with The International 2026.

First place will receive $10,000, second place $5,000, and third place $3,000. Additionally, the top 10 finalists will receive tickets to the next The International. You can register to participate via this link.

The International 2026 will take place from August 13 to 23, and the prize pool has already surpassed last year’s total. Unlike previous tournaments in the series, the organizers have decided not to hold a short film contest this time.
