War Thunder’s 247th Steam Screenshot Competition has a Halloween theme, with three ways to qualify: include black and orange, take the screenshot at night, or capture it during the Halloween Event. Entries are due October 30, 2026, and six winners will each receive 300 Golden Eagles, according to Gaijin’s Steam announcement.
To enter, upload a new screenshot to the War Thunder Steam Community Hub and use #WTscreen247 as the entire title. The image must be your own work, follow War Thunder’s rules, and not have been published or entered in another competition.
Only raw in-game screenshots are allowed. Outside editing software and visual enhancements such as Nvidia Ansel filters are prohibited, though War Thunder’s built-in filters, settings, and replay tools are permitted. An artist can win through community voting only once every four screenshot competitions. Rewards will be delivered within 14 working days.

Developed by Gaijin Entertainment
War Thunder is a free-to-play vehicular combat MMO featuring aircraft, ground vehicles, and naval craft spanning from the early 20th century to the modern era. Players progress through technology trees across multiple nations, unlocking increasingly advanced military vehicles. The game offers three realism tiers for each vehicle type: arcade, realistic, and simulator modes. Originally developed as a flight simulator under the name "World of Planes," the game expanded to include tanks in 2014 and naval forces later, becoming a combined-arms experience. A mobile version was released in 2023.
