The Opportunity Roundup #8

Wraithzeon 28 February, 2025 3 min read

What events and projects can you sign up for or get involved with this week?  Here’s the latest…


Find an event or server to play…

Applications are open for minigame tournament Creator Showdown.  The event is on 22nd March at 8pm GMT / 4pm EDT.  Applications stay open between events, but for your application to be considered for this particular event, you should get your application in through this form by the end of Friday (28th).  Applications received after then will still be considered for future events.

You can now apply for Heart Of A Hero x Klyx Games, a minigame tournament collaboration raising money to fight cancer.  The event will take place on 16th March at 7pm GMT / 3pm EDT.  Applications are open here and will close at the start of next week (w/c 1st March).

Applications have opened for the second episode of The Quiz LIVE Season 5, which takes place on 22nd March at 5pm GMT / 1pm EDT.  This is a studio gameshow in which three contestants compete in various minigames based around Minecraft trivia.  You can apply directly through the The Quiz LIVE website here.

That’s not the only Minecraft gameshow you can sign up for though, as Couple Craft Showdown is making its return in mid-March.  Hosted by bumpyJake, this show will feature couples, both platonic and romantic, competing in games of teamwork, communication and trust.  You can read our full article about the show here, or register interest by replying to this Tweet.

Necohydra is a hack-and-slash RPG-based modpack with its own 24/7 server.  To celebrate its biggest update yet, modpack creator Toquidapus is hosting a team-based Capture The Flag event.  The event is open to people who haven’t played Necohydra before, and you can find out more info or sign up here.  The form will ask about your availability between 1st and 12th of March.

or choose one to help out!

Unity Productions is looking for builders to help with Unity SMP Season 3.  You can respond to this Tweet (ideally with some screenshots of past work) if interested.

You can now signup for open testing for BlockFest, a minigame tournament.  You can sign up here, with the majority of signups being accepted.

Klyx is looking for volunteer Java/Kotlin developers for an upcoming project that will begin next month.  This project is confirmed to be unrelated to the Klyx Games minigame tournament.  If interested, you can DM ‘Asleepp’ on Discord.


DON’T MISS AN OPPORTUNITY

Sphere News is also on X and Bluesky for extra updates throughout the week.  We also have a Discord where we post a weekly newsletter (usually on Fridays) about new articles and the latest opportunities!
