Fortnite Partners With TikTok For An Emote Contest

Fortnite is one of the world’s most popular video games. TikTok is one of the world’s most popular apps. Now, the two are joining forces for a new crossover campaign.

The Emote Royal Contest on TikTok is a new challenge that Epic and the makers of the uber-popular app have announced. Here’s how it works: film yourself performing an original dance move, then submit it on TikTok using the hashtag #EmoteRoyaleContest.

The winning dance, as decided by Epic, will then become a real emote in Fortnite. The winner will also receive 25,000 V-Bucks and a “Fortnite VIP giveaway package.” This includes two hoodies, a crossbody bag, a battle bus drone, a Funko toy, and the Fortnite edition of Jenga, among other things.

Fortnite players Jordan Fisher and Pokimane already created TikTok dances that will be turned into emotes in Fortnite. You can check out their videos embedded in this story to see what you want to try to do to get selected for the contest.

You must use one of Fortnite’s pre-chosen music tracks for this contest; download them here. The official contest rules also state that contestants must perform original dance moves. This line is notable because Epic has faced and fought numerous lawsuits related to how Fortnite’s in-game emotes are based on other people’s dances.

The contest started January 18 and runs through January 24.
