CS:GO has announced the winners of the Dreams & Nightmares weapon finish contest, selecting 17 skins from more than 15,000 entries.
The initial total prize pool of $1 million has also been increased to $1.7 million, such that the creator of every skin receives $100,000 in prize money.

Valve had announced the Dreams & Nightmares Workshop Art Contest earlier this year, on 22nd July 2021, for all the CS:GO community artists.

However, the developer has ended up shortlisting 17 submissions out of more than 15,000 entries, increasing the total prize money to $1.7 Million USD.

The submission deadline for the contest was 21st October 2021, giving all the creators a total of 91 days to come up with an idea and execute it. Today on 22nd November (IST) the winners have been announced, and each of them shall be receiving $100,000 USD in prize money.

Valve will continue to work with the artists over the coming weeks before rolling out the weapon skins as part of the Dreams & Nightmares CS:GO Weapon Case.
