Rec Room Photo Contest!

O.M.G. we should totally have a far out photo contest about the 70s, 80s, and 90s! I'm, like, not even kidding. A contest ranging from bell-bottoms to neon tights to platform shoes would be so all that and a bag of chips! So, send us all of your groovy photos that are thebomb.com!

To use the Share Camera in Screen Mode - Open the main menu, select your backpack, then select the camera. If you favorite the camera you can pull it out as your favorite item by pressing and holding on the touchpad (PS4) or holding F (PC). Press the Share button after you take a photo to save it to your accounts rec.net page.

To use the Share Camera on iPhone / iPad - Tap the camera icon in the upper left corner of your screen. Hit the ‘Flip’ button to toggle between selfie and normal shot modes. Press the camera icon again to take a photo and the Share button to save it to your accounts rec.net page.

To use the Share Camera in VR - open your watch menu, select your backpack, then select the camera. If you favorite the camera you can pull it out as your favorite item by reaching behind your back and grabbing it. You can also summon the camera with the Quick Snap gesture. Face your palms towards each other like you’re framing a shot, then squeeze both triggers. Press the Share button after you take a photo to save it to your accounts rec.net page.

How do I submit a photo to the contest? 

There are three categories you can submit photos to: 

  • Humor

    • Comedy shots, something that would make you laugh

  • Party

    • Hangout or game events, group shots at a themed celebration

  • Fashion

    • Pictures of the fashion of a decade, either with costumes or scenery 

To submit a photo to one of the categories take a photo in Rec Room, share it to rec.net, then leave a comment on the photo with either #humor #party or #fashion to mark it as a contest entry. Photos must be taken in a custom room. There will be 25 winners per category for a total of 75 winners.

    • You can add an email to your account in the profile section of your watch

  • All submissions must abide by the Rec Room Code of Conduct.

  • Photos must be taken in a custom room.

    • Using Rec Room original base rooms in the custom room is allowed.
