It's that time of year again, on May 1st, The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind will turn 24 years old, inching ever closer to that quarter-of-a-century milestone, and to celebrate this historic occasion, the Morrowind Modding Community is proud to present the 12th consecutive annual Morrowind May Modathon Month Modding Competition!
Starting on May 1st and going through to June 2nd, any and all mods and modders are welcome to participate in the 2026 Morrowind Modathon, a free-for-all modding competition and modding extravaganza to celebrate Morrowind's 24th anniversary!
Since 2015, some 1,800 mods have been submitted for the Morrowind Modathons, and I sincerely hope you'll all join us for another exciting round of this proud annual modding tradition!
There will, of course, be shiny new achievement badges for modders to unlock, weekly random-drawing prizes (in the form of Steam game keys), new weekly themed challenges to flex your creative muscles, and much more! To learn more about the competition and how you can participate, check out our announcement threads on the Nexus or on Reddit, or stop by our Discord channel with any questions you might have!
This year, we have over 90 different achievement badges for modders to unlock by releasing mods, including standard-fare metric and category achievements, as well as themed challenge achievements, and numerous hidden cheevos - can you guess the requirements based solely on a name? Unlock as many as you can and embed them into your mod pages or your Nexus profiles!
Itching for a challenge or want a writing prompt to get you started? This year we have another batch of four weekly challenge themes, can you make a mod to match each one? Remember, these challenge themes are, of course, OPTIONAL, but if you want to go for that extra creative flex, they do come with a number of new achievement badges for you to unlock!
As I always say, the best games never die! So happy modding, have fun, and long live the Morrowind Modding Community!
