The Winter season is fast approaching, which for Dota 2 fans means wondering if Valve has prepared any special in-game events for the holiday season. It has been years since Valve has put on a winter holiday event for Dota 2, and this year they are relegating responsibility to the community, offering up a $30,000 for a custom game they can use for their 2017 Frostivus event.
Today, in a post on the Dota 2 Blog, Valve announced Frostivus is coming back via a custom game contest. Creators will have until November 20th to create and submit a game that is "heavily themed around the Frostivus season." The game can be either competitive or cooperative, but must be multiplayer and must be an original concept (to avoid re-skinning of older games). Valve recommends playtesting your game with the community prior to submitting, or at least involve the community in development to receive feedback. The creator (or creators) of the winning game will receive $30,000 from Valve and will presumably see their game used officially as a part of the Frostivus 2017 festivities.
