2013 Easter Egg Design Contest

Postby sempaispellcheck on Fri Mar 08, 2013 10:22 pm

Hello all!

Most of you probably haven't given any thought to anything past St. Patrick's Day yet, and while we can't say we blame you (busy as we are planning the St. Patrick's Day event), the fact is that Easter comes a little early this year! So, we're asking you to give us a bit of a hand in our Easter preparations by:

Designing a CC Easter Egg!

Turn the plain and boring egg below into a colorful masterpiece! Color and/or carve the egg any way you like and send your entry (one entry per player) to sempaispellcheck. The entries will then be sent to multiple judges in an anonymous manner and a winner will be determined.

Prizes: The designers of the top three entries will each receive a General Achievement Medal, but the designer of the First Place entry will also recieve 3 Months Premium!
REMEMBER: You MUST use the image below!

AS A SPECIAL BONUS, some eggs (as many as we can fit) will appear on the LIVE map Knights as koontz1973 has graciously offered to edit the entries into his map. The map will go live with the eggs after the contest has ended, in plenty of time for the Easter event. You may want to design your egg so that it won't be too blurry when resized to a smaller dimension.

Rules:
1. You cannot resize the image
2. Use an image editing software to create your egg
3. Upload it to a hosting site such as Photobucket.com
4. Send it to sempaispellcheck with subject "Easter Egg"
5. All entries must be received by CC Time: 2013-03-22 23:59:59

This is the template you must use:

I can't wait to see what you guys come up with!
Have fun!

To be honest, I had no part in the medals issue.
I don't just expect it to keep 2 holiday map events in order - I'm going to make sure it does.

I have not yet decided. Their names will, of course, not be released - at least until after the judging is over.

I checked the CC Time link and noticed that it has been set for 2012. That was probably meant to be 2013.

Saving it to your hard drive or loading it into GIMP?

Not a reilable way to get the image. Also, I noticed, it is in greyscale so it needs to be loaded as RGB.

Just save it as is to the hard drive. Much easier to piss about with it that way.
