Community Contest: Art Challenge - "The LS wants YOU!!"

[ViolentDjango]

In honor of Phase 3 and the introduction of Linkshells into FFXIV, I'm holding a special art contest!

Contest Gallery: Search Final Fantasy XIV Community Contest on Photobucket
(I can't post links, if any admin wants to mod it in, feel free. New entries added each evening)


The rules are simple:

- Create Final Fantasy XIV artwork anyway you can with the theme of "The Linkshell Wants you!"

- The linkshell can have any name, or simple be referred to as "The Linkshell."

- FINAL SUBMISSION DATE: Setember 3rd

- All submissions will be reviewed, and a winner will be selected on September 17th.

- One entry per person.

What you have to do:

- Create memorable artwork any way you can: Photoshop, drawing, photography, cosplay -- Any materials you can find (not including other people's art work), you name it -- all under the theme of a fledging linkshell branching out to find new members. (With the fan site kit being released, everyone should have ample materials to create their own comic, poster, or leaflet)

- ALL ARTWORK MUST BE ORIGINAL, AND CANNOT BE SOMEONE ELSE'S WORK.
---- To avoid plagiarism, all submissions (especially hand draw entries) must include multiple examples of the unfinished work.

- If your artwork appears on a deviant art page, you must be able to prove that you own that page.

Things to know:
- This is a personal contest, and is not any way sponsored by any fan site.

- Contest winner's information will be requested and the copy of Final Fantasy XIV: Collector's Edition will be ordered from a retailer who will ship the game to the winner. I will not be responsible for late arrivals due to problems with the order website. (Winner may suggest their preferred online shopping site).

- Each submission will be posted to image hosting site so that everyone can view the entries.

- I will personally decide the winner, but community input will be taken into consideration.

SUBMIT YOUR ENTRIES TO:
[email protected]

Please include your Eorzeapedia/BlueGartr/KillingIfrit/ZAM (and where you're entering from) name in the email.

Feel free to post submissions here as well (especially if they can be found on a deviant art profile), if you want community input.

PRIZE:
A pre-order (paid in full) copy of Final Fantasy XIV: Collector's Edition from Winner's preferred site. This contest is region-free, international entries accepted.

Posting this on all of the FFXIV community sites so that every has a chance to enter.
