Edit June 26th: The collab is live (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPddJ8YUgME). An official post will be made here today or tomorrow announcing the winners!

Edit June 15th: It is the last day, entries are closed! Thanks to all who participated. The collab will release on June 25th or so.

Remember the Christmas collab? Well this is like that but for Summer.

TL;DR just watch the announcement video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7btHSDTYpY

The rules, prizes, submission methods, and download links for everything are included in this Google doc, read it carefully.

The Plot

Ralph seems to have found a mysterious-yet-incredibly-durable chest on the beachside during his “vacation”! As he tries through many different “hurdles” to break it, it gains the attention of the other citizens on the beach – all of whom want to see what’s inside as well! Who will be able to successfully break open the chest, and gain the loot for themselves?

Prizes

No merch, I know you’re sad. Only money. Prizes are simple, there are two categories:

1. Best Animated ($100 first prize, $50 for two runner-ups)
2. Most Entertaining ($100 first prize, $50 for two runner ups)

Payments will be made via Paypal (preferably, or some other payment processor). If not, some sort of gift card can be arranged.

Winners will be decided by me with some input from the collab organizers. Speaking of which, shouts out to them:
