Valve has opened submissions for The Witching Hour, a new community-run Workshop contest for Team Fortress 2. The event tasks players and creators with designing original Halloween-themed spells to be featured in the upcoming Scream Fortress update.

Contest Details and Rewards

The contest is looking for a variety of content, including new curses, spells, and other magical tinctures. According to the announcement, creators who submit successful entries have the chance to win prizes consisting of keys and in-game items.

While the contest is framed within the persona of Merasmus—referencing a fictional debt to 9th-century British mafia ghosts—the core requirement is for the community to provide functional, themed content for the annual Halloween event on PC.
