Epic is looking for three exceptional community-created Sprite designs to be built into Fortnite, for real.
Post your original Sprite concept to X, Instagram, or TikTok using the #DesignASprite hashtag or on the r/FortniteBR with the ‘Design A Sprite’ flair.
The Fortnite team will review submissions and pick three winning entries that will be turned into in-game Sprites. Each winning designer also takes home a $2,500 cash prize. You can submit up to two original Sprite designs, so bring your best ideas.
The Design A Sprite Concept Royale begins June 17 at 9 AM ET and runs until July 1 at 11:59 PM ET. For complete details, check out our official Design-A-Sprite contest rules.

What type of game should I turn this into?
Something just casual, a race or a gun game?
