Get Creative Online & Win In-Game Prizes with the ESO Sea Shanties Community Contest

Create a special Instagram or TikTok video for the chance to win some in-game goodies via the ESO Sea Shanties Community Contest.

Join the Chorus

From the tumultuous waves of Sea of Ghosts to the idyllic shores of the Summerset Isles, a sailor’s song carries across every corner of the oceans of Tamriel. In celebration of the launch of High Isle and the ongoing Legacy of the Breton adventure, we are thrilled to host our first-ever ESO Sea Shanty community contest on TikTok and Instagram. This choral competition begins on August 17, 2022, and runs until September 9, 2022, with the winners being announced on October 5, 2022.

If you’d like to join the community chorus, tap into your bardic talents and submit an entry the following way:

• Post a TikTok video or an Instagram reel using an original song created by ZeniMax Online Studios and performed by none other than Trivium lead singer and guitarist Matthew K Heafy.
• The original song for contest use can be found on the official Elder Scrolls Online Instagram and Bethesda TikTok pages on August 17.
• A caption must be included featuring the #ESOSeaShanty hashtag for entry tracking purposes.
• The entire video entry must be no shorter than 15 seconds and no longer than 60 seconds.
• No other music is permitted.
• Submit your contest entry using Woobox.

Each entry will be judged by creativity, quality, and adherence to the contest’s rules, as well as the individual creator’s overall interpretation of the contest theme. Note that you don’t need to sing along in your entry (and in the case of some of you, we might prefer it). In fact, you can do whatever you like—lip sync, dance, act out a scene, etc. All entries will be judged under the same criteria, so be creative! Read the official rules here.
