Fortnite's TikTok competition for a new emote is underway Rock around the clock. News by Emma Kent Contributor Updated on 21 Jan 2020 6 comments Wow, that's a lot of Gen Z words in a headline - but I suppose it's what you'd expect from Fortnite, which is now searching for its next great emote on TikTok. I guess that makes a change from merely lifting them from, well, almost anything. The competition kicked off over the weekend, and contestants must upload a video of themselves performing an original dance move on TikTok - along with the hashtag #EmoteRoyaleContest. Aside from being introduced into the game, the winning dance will also snag the creator a prize of 25k V-Bucks and a Fortnite VIP giveaway package. Here's an example. SO THIS IS MY DANCE EMOTE I DID FOR #EmoteRoyalContest on tik tok!

If you're thinking about this seriously, you can find the full competition rules here. Let's just hope the creator doesn't try to sue Epic after the competition, as was the case with Orange Shirt Kid's mum. Get ready to get up and show us your moves!
