Join the campaign on PlayCamp, post an ArcheAge Chronicles video on YouTube with #PlayCampArcheage, and you're in. Every week, we pick our favorites.
Campaign opens on PlayCamp: To be announced
Log in or sign up with PlayCamp, then join the campaign — you only need to do this once.
Phone footage is fine. Fifteen seconds is enough.
Join the campaign on PlayCamp with the YouTube channel you post from. Rewards go to creators who are 18 or older and run an individual channel. If you're picked, you verify your identity (KYC) before your reward is credited.
Pick the one that fits your video. We make the final call.
Gameplay footage fills most of the video, with edits no fancier than cuts and captions.
You made something new: edits, art, animation or AI scenes built around ArcheAge Chronicles.
Each video is judged in one division only. If it fits the other one better, we may move it.
Join the AAC campaign on PlayCamp with the YouTube channel you post from. Join before you post: only videos posted after you join count. You only do this once.
After you've joined, make a video, 15 seconds or longer (AI-made is welcome). Put #PlayCampArcheage in the title or description and post it publicly on YouTube between Oct 19 and Nov 8 (PT). You're in automatically.
We find tagged videos ourselves. Each week we pick our favorites in both divisions and announce them on this page and in the PlayCamp Discord. Picked creators who pass eligibility checks get their reward after the season ends.

No video link to send us: the tag is your entry. Join any time during the campaign, but only videos posted after you join count, so join before you post.
Every reward is per video. Each division gets its own picks.
| Reward | Per division | Amount per video |
|---|---|---|
| Pick of the Week | 1 each week | $250 |
| Highlights | Up to 5 each week | $75each |
| Best of AAC | 1 for the season, picked after it ends | $400 |
Highlights are "up to": if fewer videos meet the bar, we pick fewer.
A video can receive up to one weekly pick and one season Best of AAC award. There's no limit on videos per channel or on how many times a channel can be picked.
Week = Monday 00:00 to Sunday 23:59 PT.
Week 1 · Oct 19–25
Steam Next Fest demo, Oct 19–26 PT
Week 2 · Oct 26–Nov 1
Week 3 · Nov 2–8
We aim to announce each week's picks within 3 days after the week ends. Best of AAC and season results: aiming for Nov 13.

Join any time during the campaign. Only videos posted after you join the campaign on PlayCamp count (within Oct 19–Nov 8 PT), so join before you post. A video about ArcheAge Chronicles, 15 seconds or longer, posted publicly on YouTube in that window with #PlayCampArcheage typed in the title or description is entered automatically; you don't submit video links. The hashtag isn't case-sensitive. A tag added only in YouTube's tags field doesn't count, because it isn't visible on the video page.
Each video is judged in one division. Division A: gameplay footage fills most of the video, with edits no fancier than cuts and captions. Division B: you used edits, compositing, art or AI to make new scenes. We may assign the division.
The PlayCamp team picks videos based on how well they fit ArcheAge Chronicles, how fun and creative they are, and how polished they look. Public view counts are one reference, not the deciding factor. The video must have met every requirement when it was posted. We don't publish scores.
If your video is sponsored or paid, add #ad and turn on YouTube's paid promotion checkbox.
AI-made and AI-assisted videos are welcome. If your video has realistic-looking altered or synthetic scenes, or a cloned real person's voice, use YouTube's altered or synthetic content disclosure. Following YouTube's rules is on you.
Bought views, bots or spam. Videos taken from someone else, or re-uploads. Videos not about ArcheAge Chronicles. Hateful, illegal or adult content. Videos that pretend to be official ArcheAge Chronicles or PlayCamp content.
If a video is deleted or made private before rewards are paid, or turns out not to meet these rules, its pick can be canceled.
Official videos posted as-is or with only new cuts, and re-uploads of someone else's video, don't count.
If a copyright claim or Content ID issue comes up, the pick can be canceled, and you're responsible for any third-party music you use.
Beware of impersonators: we only reach out through the PlayCamp Discord and campaign emails, and we never ask for passwords or payment details.
Rules may change or the campaign may end. Changes are announced first and apply afterward; picks already announced still stand, and their rewards remain subject to eligibility checks.
You're responsible for any taxes on rewards you receive.
