Valkyrie: Loading Screen Contest

[COSMIN]

We’re excited to announce a special loading screen art contest to celebrate for Valkyrie, the newest class, running from September 3 - September 24. This is your chance to have your artwork featured in the game as a custom loading screen. Three winners will be selected, and their art will be added to the game in the October update as loading screens. Learn more about the prizes, requirements, and submission details below.

Prizes

Each of the three winners will receive:

• Their artwork added to the game as a loading screen with the October update.

• An exclusive in-game title: “Masterpiece Creator.”

• 180 Days of Crystalline Aura Plus.

Entry Requirements

Submissions will be accepted from September 3, 2025 to September 24, 2025 in the Official Lost Ark Discord Server. Full terms and conditions can be found here.
