Community Spotlight – March Edition
Are you interested in funny contests and helpful articles from your fellow players? Do you want to know about the latest events and see some cool artwork? Then this article might be just the right place to visit!
We’ve put together a list of popular resources for our community, and here is our top content-driven info that we feel should be of interest to everyone!
As some of you know, a few times a week we organise different contests where you can win in-game gold and bonus codes.
One of the most popular contests, Verkauft mir euren Lieblingspanzer, was run by the German Community Team. If you think that tanks don’t deserve to be advertised, you’re wrong! Have a look at these amazing tank commercials created by the players. We really do have some gifted art directors among our community!

This time, the Polish community team ran a very successful in-game contest called Hide and Sneak. What is this competition about, you may ask? It was all about staying alive! 14 random players were fighting on specific maps and those who survived to the end won the prize.
It wasn't just the French team that had been struck by Cupid's arrow this month. The Czech community also decided to merge love and tanks by announcing the Valentine Card contest. The rules were simple, but the contest itself required creativity and good drawing skills!

The Spanish team, as always, follows the newest online trends. Seeing the rising popularity of the Harlem Shake, the team decided to create a similar contest where players were asked to make a short video accompanied by the song. The results are... interesting to say the least!

In-game contest: International Women’s Day
As you may already know, a few weeks ago we organised two community events on the occasion of International Women’s Day. The first in-game competition was run by our community ladies (Supercharge, Cdm_Latina and TianShan) who played in the platoon. The rules were simple, every player who successfully destroyed one of their tanks received 200 gold.
The second event was a little more complex. We created a tank company with 15 women randomly picked from the community. 15 girls vs 15 guys confronted each other on the battlefield. This time the winning team received 100 gold each.
Both events were very succesfull and we would like to thank everybody for the fantastic time!
Creative contest: Love you to bits!
Yes, we do get sentimental about Valentine‘s Day, so why not reach out and share the love we have in World of Tanks?
In this contest we asked players to find the enemy tank and share their love by giving them a big kiss! (Tank to Tank) Face hug them and shoot away (ramming and hugging optional). Take a look at these cool pictures below!
