What is the Community Contributor Program?
This program is made up of content creators who voluntarily dedicate their time to creating content for World of Warships Blitz. As a Community Contributor (CC), you will be placed in the spotlight as a positive example and role model for the World of Warships Blitz community. Your personal and professional growth is important to us, and we will support you by promoting your quality content and providing the necessary assets to enhance your creations.
As you may have noticed, we’ve already reached out to some creators and provided Press Accounts to help them grow their social media channels and provide more useful updates and opinions about the latest events in World of Warships Blitz. If you are a keen content creator who wants to help build this community, this is your best chance to get involved!
Community Contributors are not required to be skilled at the game. However, they are expected to be familiar with the game mechanics and ship balance, and understand the state and preferences of the larger game community. Our goal is to use the revamped Community Contributor program to build a healthy and constructive community that is welcoming for new players to join, and helpful for veterans to flourish. You must be at least 18 years old to apply for the program.
Intellectual Property Rights
The Wargaming materials provided may only be used for the creation of materials about World of Warships Blitz (“Content”) and as part of the CC program in compliance with this Policy. Wargaming materials cannot be altered or defaced in a way deemed negative by Wargaming. They cannot be sold or repurposed for financial gain. Applications are accepted at the sole discretion of Wargaming and we reserve the right to accept or reject applications based on the needs of the program at any given time. Wargaming retains the right to revoke your access to the Community Contributor program at any time and for any reason.
Your Content must have no commercial (i.e., monetary) objective. As an exception to this, you are permitted to monetize web videos (such as YouTube videos) with advertisements, so long as these videos otherwise meet the requirements of this Policy. Wargaming retains the right to revoke your permission to create the Content at any time and for any reason. You may not share any protected information that would lead players to obtain any form of advantage within the game.
You may not say, or imply, that your Content is endorsed or approved by Wargaming. Also, you may not create or use any Content in a manner that could cause people to believe that it is an official Wargaming production. For example, a fan website may not be designed to look like an official Wargaming website, and it must be clear to visitors that the website is not a Wargaming website.
What We Expect From You
Applicants must have at least one existing personal social media channel with examples of content that demonstrate the ability to engage an audience. Applications will be considered on a case-by-case basis, and the strength of your existing channels/content will be a key factor. If you do not have much existing content, but are keen to get started, we may still consider your application if you show huge enthusiasm in your application. Your submission will only be seen by our staff and moderators. Other players won’t be able to see it.

About Press Accounts
What is a Press Account? – A Press Account (PA) is a special game account for Community Contributors. These accounts are regularly supplied with in-game currency and the latest content, such as Premium ships, before they are made available to everyone else. These accounts can be used to create videos, images, reviews, and more to build hype around new in-game content.
Press Account Rules
- PA holders cannot join fleets or use the account to gain advantages in tournaments or events. The account must be solely used for content creation.
- PA holders will be given early access to new ships and other content on a case-by-case basis.
- PA holders will be invited to a special Discord channel with our WoWSB community team.
- We reserve the right to revoke PA accounts on a case-by-case basis. We expect PA holders to create honest content about WoWSB.
- It is forbidden to use toxic language, offensive images/footage, or any copyrighted media in your content.
- Account sharing is strictly forbidden without prior approval.
- PA accounts are limited, and contributors with high-quality content will be given priority.
- We will occasionally provide PA holders with assets to help improve the quality of their content. These assets must be used as provided.
