September's Beta Slot Contest: Get Creative! : Vanguard News

Found at http://www.silkyvenom.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5019 from www.egamefo.com

Another month means another chance at winning yourself a Beta 3 slot in the second Silky Venom Beta Slot Contest! Whether you're a forum veteran or a newcomer to Vanguard, you each have equal footing in this month's task: "Get Creative!" This month we've opted for something a little weirder... so read on to find out how to win your place in Vanguard's third phase of Beta!

As with last month, we have another beta slot available from Sigil to allocate to the winner of this month's competition. The rules will be very similar to those of August's giveaway, so those of you who didn't win will be able to get right to it and work on your entry!

September's contest is also a picture contest of sorts, but one that you can compete in without having to leave your home! We want you to raid your kitchen cupboards for food that can be turned into something Vanguard-esque. Edible items will be your artistic medium this month! We are looking for Vanguard related characters, models, scenes, locations or whatever else you can think of - all made out of food!

We don't want to lay down too many rules about what you can and can't use, so we have decided to leave it fairly open. We wouldn't want to hinder your creative minds now, would we? For inspiration (Star Wars style) you may like to watch "Store Wars", which should hopefully give you some idea of what we hope to see (but in photograph form). But don't by any means let us limit you - if you enter something, we'll judge it, no matter how outlandish!

Once you have your picture hosted somewhere on the internet, post in this thread linking to the picture, and preferably include a description of some sort. Our judging will be based on your creativity, skill and effort shown in your entries, not to mention your use of a variety of foodstuffs.

You have until midnight PST on September 30th, 2006 (which is October 1st at 3am EST, 2am CST and 1am MST) to upload and link to your pictures. Any submissions after that time will not be considered. As with last month's competition, we will not be able to announce the winner publicly, due to Vanguard's NDA.

The two runners up will also each recieve one of Sigil's official 'Heroes of Vanguard' posters to proudly display on their wall as consolation for not coming in first.

Rundown of the rules:

1. You must be a registered member on Silky Venom.

2. You must be a registered member on the official Vanguard: Saga of Heroes forums.

3. Your picture must be of a Vanguard related model, created mainly or entirely from food.

4. You may enter up to 3 times!

5. If selected as our winner, you are not allowed to disclose that fact to anyone, whether on these forums or elsewhere.

6. We will select the winner sometime on October 1st, 2006 and announce it here as well as sending a PM to the winner via our forums - so be sure to check back often! If the winner does not respond within 1 week, we will select an alternate winner.

Good luck!

Remember: If you are worried that someone may steal your idea, feel free to PM Labyrrinth and link to your entry in the PM, or email the picture to her at Labyrrinth@silkyvenom.com
