Anniversary Event - OGame Pets

  • Dear community,
    We are celebrating our 16th Anniversary this year!
    To start the celebration, we prepared an international contest for all of you.


    It is time to show your OGame companion, the little ball of fur (you name it!) that sits next to you when you are about to send your fleetsave or when you are preparing an attack with your alliance!


    To take part in the contest, you need to make a picture of your pet next to your OGame screen. We know not everybody has an animal at home, this is why we are also allowing you to put your favorite plush toy/doll/puppet on the picture.


    You need to send the picture to ogamepets@ogame.org using the e-mail of your OGame account with the following information:
    Title: OGame Pets
    Content:

    • Community where you play
    • Nickname
    • Universe where you play

    Optional: You can also caption of the picture if you want to.


    The reception of pictures will start on 28.09.2018 at 00:00 and will close on 11.10.2018 at 23:59.
    Any picture sent after the deadline will be discualified.


    During the reception process, you will get a mail confirming your participation once your picture has been processed.
    Please, keep in mind it is allowed to take part only once and with a single picture.


    The OGame team will select 6 winner pictures. The voting process will happen between 12.10.2018 and 18.10.2018.
    Note: these pictures will also be shared on our Social Media channels.



    The winners will be announced from 19.10 on in our forums. They will also be contacted via e-mail to receive their rewards.


    List of rewards:

    • Top1: 1x50€ OGame Spreadshirt coupon + 1 level up of a building or research
    • Top 2: 1x50€ OGame Spreadshirt coupon + 1 level up of a building or research
