The Steam Workshop is a mini-site that enables users to submit modelled items for in-game release and displaying online. The site went live with the Manniversary Update & Sale on October 13, 2011, and aims to make item contribution more open to the public by allowing all users to view and rate submitted items. Only items for Team Fortress 2 and Skyrim will be considered, Team Fortress 2 items must be in the form of weapons, hats or miscellaneous items.
Submitted items can be viewed in the gallery of the site, sorted by the most recent or highest rated submissions. Items submitted to the site are chosen based on the quality of modelling, texturing and animation, and attributes such as damage statistics and weapon functionality are determined by Valve before release, in order to consider game balance.
The Steam Workshop site was created to replace the Contribution page on the TF2 Official Website, and to make it easier for users to receive feedback from Valve and the wider community regarding specific entries.
Submission guidelines

- Texturing techniques

- Hats are to use team specific or neutral colors.
- Textures should be simple and not a distraction.
