Hey there, as we hope you’ve heard: Awesomenauts will be going free to play on May 24th. Lots of new players will be playing Awesomenauts for the first time after the transition, and we look forward to welcoming them to our community and hearing from them. In order to help them learn more about Awesomenauts, we'd like to invite all existing players, our grizzled veterans, to participate in our brand new Guide Contest! Write great guides, help new players, win awesome prizes! It’s that easy! Your contribution will not only make it a little easier for new players to join the community, but it’ll also earn you more skilled teammates to fight alongside on the battlefield! We’ve opened the window for guide submissions on Steam as of today! Everyone who owns a copy of Awesomenauts and abides by the rules is allowed to participate in the contest, which will run until Wednesday, May 31st, 17:00 EU / 16:00 UK / 11 AM Eastern / 8 AM PT. Be sure to support guides you like by giving them an upvote, as the Grand Winner of this contest will be decided based on the number of upvotes a guide gets. You can check out all submissions here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/204300/guides/ We encourage everyone to submit a cool Awesomenauts game guide to help new players learn more about Awesomenauts. The topic of your guide is up to you, and everyone is welcome to join the contest as long as they follow the rules below! Rules:

• All the guides must be uploaded under the Awesomenauts guide section on Steam, and have [CONTEST] in their name. This tag may be removed after the contest ends
