There’s nothing quite like popping off for a few big kills in Fortnite: Battle Royale and then busting a move with one of the game’s dance emotes to let your enemy know how good it felt.

Epic Games knows how important dance emotes are to Fortnite, and the developer is holding a new contest to express it. The #BoogieDown Contest is all about busting a move, having fun, winning prizes, and potentially getting your own dance moves as an emote in the game.

Everyone who posts a dance video to Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter using the hashtag #BoogieDown will be entered into the contest. Altogether, there will be 100 winners of varying prizes.

The grand prize winner will have their dance created as an emote in the game, as well as earning an “exclusive IRL Boogie Bomb,” 10,000 V-Bucks ($100 in-game currency), and Disco cosmetic skins. From there, the prizes all include some variation of V-Bucks and in-game skins.

The dance videos will be judged on the criteria of fun, originality, and creativity. “Does your dance fit the playful style of Fortnite? Is your dance original? How unique and imaginative is your dance?”

The contest begins right now and lasts until April 10, so start dancing. All of the information and full list of rules can be found on Epic Games’ website.
