Alan Walker and Republic of Gamers are teaming up in order to find the perfect fan-made video for Walker’s recent collaboration, ‘Fake A Smile’, with salem ilese. The ‘For Those Who Dare’ gameplay animation challenge encourages all creatives to develop a video for ‘Fake A Smile’ through the lens of their favorite video game characters and in-game footage.

Here is how Walker explained the rules:
“Walkers, I’m forever amazed by the creativity that comes out of this community. I love seeing all of your artwork and videos and thought it’d be a great idea to hold a contest where you can showcase your best gameplay animation to my latest single, Fake A Smile. (From any game, feel free to choose your favorite and get creative!) To join, create your own storyline in game using Fake A Smile as the soundtrack and upload the video to YouTube. Use the hashtags #ForThoseWhoDare and #FakeASmile so I can be sure to find it :). I can’t wait to see what you come up with! Make sure you upload before April 2nd, 2021. There are some really cool prizes too…”
So basically all you have to do is create your own animated story video using ‘Fake A Smile’ as the soundtrack and upload it to YouTube with the tags #ForThoseWhoDare & #FakeASmile before April 2nd, 2021. Entrants will have their videos judged by the hit-making producer and the winners will be announced between April 10th and April 13th, 2021.
