Create the race of your dreams and enter the Galactic Civilizations III Faction Design Contest for a chance to win $1,000 and get your faction included in the game as a minor race!
All you have to do is make your race, either using the in-game tool or going deeper and creating it as a mod, then write a description and upload the file to our handy submission form.
The eight coolest, most unique races our community can dream up will be chosen by the Galactic Civilizations III team to be featured as finalists, and the community will vote on the ultimate winner.
