ZOO OF THE YEAR 2021

Welcome to ZOO OF THE YEAR 2021!

Before I get into Zoo of the Year, don't forget it's the STEAM AWARDS! Make sure you vote for your favourites, and if you've been ADDICTED to Let's Build a Zoo, give it a nomination for Game of the Year!

Since Let's Build a Zoo's launch we've been OVERWHELMED by some truly amazing zoos that the community have been building! From one of my local zoos to Middle Earth, we've seen some incredible designs - it's been wild watching them fill up our Discord!

So we decided, why not celebrate all these amazing masterpieces? If you've got a pretty zoo, a well laid out zoo, a themed zoo or a zoo that you're proud of, we want to see it!!

Here's how it'll work:

1. Either post screenshots of your zoo to the Share your Zoo Steam Forum (here) or in #zoo-of-the-year on Discord (found here)

2. Vote on your favourite zoos by giving them the THUMBS UP on Discord or on Steam!

3. After December 20th, the Let's Build a Zoo team will pick their favourite zoos, using community voting as a guide for which ones you like best.

4. On December 22, we'll announce the 3 best zoos of 2021.

All three winners will receive a game key for a friend so everyone can get involved in the festive spirit, and the BEST ZOO OF 2021 will receive a $100 Steam Gift Card, to spend on whichever games they like over Christmas!

If you've had a GREAT idea for a zoo, now is a great time to start building!!

You have until the 20th of December!

You can also encourage people to vote on your creations - while the decision lies with the devs, it'll definitely help your chances!

Good luck, we can't wait to see what you're working on!
