| City Of Christmas Competition |
|
|

Gather round all you Heroes of Paragon and Villains of the Rogue Isles for a special, Christmas competition announcement.
Seeing as we are rapidly approaching the festive season of goodwill to all heroes and villains, the staffers here at the gameamp CoH and CoV sites have cooked up a little competition that could be a little festive fun for everyone.
So what do you have to do and more importantly, what are the prizes up for grabs!
Well the what you have do part is pretty simple and possibly going to be a little bit of fun for all you creative ampers.
What you got to do is simple. Design a Hero or Villain with a Christmas theme. Looks, colours, name, costume - you decide. Fill in a character bio and snap off a screenie to send to us showing your Hero or Villain in all their Christmas glory and their background bio.
We only need a single shot, no comic strip entries with multiple shots please!
All submissions should be added to the "X-Mas Contest Gallery" on their respective sites. Any entries not submitted into the Contest Gallery will be considered null and void. One entry per person, per site. (Yes that means you have 2 chances!)
The staff of both sites will be judging all entries and picking their top 3 on each site.
So, what is up for grabs? Well, we thought that we'd do something different and lasting and give up some bragging rights to the winners of each site.
So, in reverse order, here are the prizes on offer.
Just submitting a screenshot to the gallery, which we are going to keep hidden from view until we decide on the winners, will of course earn you 10 credit.
Third place from each site will earn themselves 75 Credit
Second place from each site will earn themselves 100 Credit
The winners from each site get themselves 150 Credit... and something special. We're offering up the chance for the winners of each site to pick a staffer from the respective sites and conduct an in depth interview with them which will be posted on each site in January.
Yup, we're offering up the chance for two of you to get the scoop on anyone of us you like, except those already done and unfortunately Nogame and Shamen aren't included as the Devs simply have too much on at the moment.
How do you get to do the interview? If you got a headset then you can teamspeak it and actually chat to the staffer (remember to take notes!!) or over a messenger of choice, msn, aol or yahoo etc. And if you don't have one of those you can do the interview via email. All you got to do is pick a date, get your questions ready and sort it out with the staffer of choice and we'll get your exclusive scoops up for everyone to read and the best part is, the interviews are gonna be up in the interview section for all time!
So, not only do you have to think about the character design, start thinking of some questions that you really wanna ask us, in depth, funny, game related, you ask it and we'll answer (hopefully without too many no comments!!)
So get your Christmas thinking hats on and get creative.
Competition starts Monday 21st November and runs until Friday 9th December and we'll hopefully be announcing the winners on each respective site on Friday 16th December along with the winners choice for interviewee if possible!
Good luck one and all and hope you have a lot of fun taking part!

It looks like a fun contest, and I can't wait to see how that interview turns out. It's too bad I'm not likely to have the time to enter this one, but good luck to those who do enter!

When you type /screenshotui 1 all the windows will appear on your screenshot too. And from the top right menu you can select Personal Info (J). That pops up a window with your background story. So that way you can take a screenshot of both your character and the info box. Don't do any clipping and pasting.
And when you submit the screenshot via the normal submit- screenshot page, there is now a pulldown option where you can select "christmas contest".

Ok I have a question.
Traditionally, the CHristmas colours have been green and red with a bit of silver and gold thrown in, at least in North America.
Are we trying to fit North American Christmas genres, or can we dip into other cultures and colour schemes to create a unique toon. I have many ideas and just want to know what our limits are.

Your imagination has no boundaries - go for what you feel is what you want to submit so long as it has the christmas theme and is submitted to the christmas gallery it'll wind up in the contest.
Just so everyone remembers, we're holding back posting all entries until we have had a look at them and both sites have some good ones so keep them coming!

Submit the hero as a screenshot. On the submit page there is a pulldown thingy where you select christmas contest.

EDIT: nvm..i'm wrong again.
just send it to which ever site depending on whether it's a hero or a villain. you can submit one for each site. just make sure you put '-xmas' or '-christmas' or something in the title so it doesn't get accidently posted, and submit it to the competition gallery. :)

One day to go!!
That's right folks, today is your final day for entries in the City Of Christmas Competition.
As the mug, I mean staffer who came up with the idea and the slight problem that I'm over the pond in the UK, any late entries must be dated with 9th December to be accepted.
Anything dated the 10th unfortunately will not be entered, altho I will still award the 10 points for a screenshot - but this will only apply to those that are in the waiting to be approved area for the competition.
All the entries will appear on the City of Villains and City Of Heroes sites during the day on Saturday 10th December.
Top 3 placed entries will be announced on Friday 16th December.
So, there you go, the final 24 hours (and few minutes) left to get an entry to the comp are here.
Good Luck and I hope that if you already entered that you are thinking of who you wanna interview!

Right guys, that's ya lot.
The entries that have followed the guidelines for the competition will be posted in the Xmas comp gallery under screenshots.
Many thanks to those who entered, the CoH and CoV staff are now going to take a few days to decide upon the top 3 entries for each site and I'll announce that as soon as we have a decision for both sites.
I know a few staffers are starting to wonder about the possibility of being interviewed by a gameamp member and are a touch nervous about just what kind of grilling they are gonna get from you guys !
Well, once again thank you to everyone who took part and I hope that everyone now enjoys the entries.

Thanks to everyone who contributed their characters!
Also great job to the staff as well for everything you have been doing. Keep it up!
