The 20th Anniversary Doom Challenge was an event organized by id Software and Bethesda as part of the 2013 twentieth anniversary of Doom, and took place as part of the QuakeCon 2013 convention in Dallas, Texas. It was announced on June 5, 2013,[1] and was held at the Hilton Anatole between Thursday, August 1, 2013, and Saturday, August 3, 2013.

The grand prize for first place of $1000 was taken by Jefferson Kist (JKist3). The top three winners also received a commemorative Doom II trophy designed by frequent QuakeCon award designer Cobalt.
