'Fortnite' contest gives fans a chance to get their favorite dance into the game
In case you slept on the overnight sensation, Fortnite is the latest "battle royale" game to take over. Now, the #boogiedown competition is inviting fans to dance their way into the game itself.

Epic Games announced the competition with the help of two huge names in the Fortnite community: competitive player and Team SoloMid Fortnite captain, Myth, and popular streamer Ceez. They busted out some moves, encouraging others to join and share their own videos with the #boogiedown hashtag for a shot at the grand prize: having your dance digitally immortalized as an emote in the game.
To compete, you'll need to share a #boogiedown video sometime before or by April 10. The 100 prizes include everything from in-game cash and unlockable cosmetic items to whatever the hell an "Exclusive IRL Boogie Bomb" is.
According to the Fornite team, your dance moves will be judged on three metrics: "fun" (meaning how well you capture Fortnite's groovy style), originality, and creativity.
Judging by how Myth's smooth footwork left him panting up a storm in his video, though, competition will be stiff. But if it means your jig gets spread via a llama piñata, then it'll all be worth it.
