Ok, ladies and gentlemen... time for a competition! So get your cameras ready...

To enter this competition you must take a photograph (as per the rules below), upload it and post it to this thread.

Rules
You must be aged 18+ to enter the competition.
You must have taken the picture specifically for this competition.

Your picture must include...

  • Yourself... close, far away, in costume, disguised, whatever. As long as you're there!
  • Your character name from Fallen Sword written on something.
  • The text www.fallensword.com written on something.
  • All text must be easily readable by people viewing it.

Your picture must NOT include...

  • Editing, we want unedited photographs only... no MS Paint!
  • Anything that violates the law.
  • Any forms of nudity or indecent / offensive material.
  • Anything that would violate our Terms of Website Use & Acceptable Use Policy.

Prizes
Entries will be judged by Hunted Cow Studios staff, the 10 players who submit what we decide to be the best entries will win 500 Fallen Sword Points each!

Deadline
All entries must be sent in by 1pm GMT Friday, January 20th 2012. Prizes will be distributed the following week.

Questions
Just to clarify some things...

Can I put the name and website on my picture after taking it?
Absolutely not, that would be cheating. Any pictures that we deem to have been edited will be disqualified, printed out and fed to our pet office cow.

Can the picture just include part of me?
Sure but they must include your face. Feel free to wear a disguise or costume if you don't want people knowing what you look like! ...or if you're a ninja. But ninjas should never be caught on camera!

What will you be looking for when judging the competition?
Awesomeness, originality, those sorts of things. The key factor will be how much effort it took to acquire. For example... if your picture is taken from inside Mount Doom that will be taken in to account. :)

Can we submit group photographs?
Sure, you'll only win 1 prize for 1 photograph though. You must designate one of the character names shown in the photograph as the "captain" to receive the prize if you win. The captain will then be free to split it... or not. :twisted:

Should I include a caption or description?
Don't edit the photograph, but you can submit some text along with your photograph to explain what it is a picture of... if it's not obvious.

Can a friend take the photograph for me?
Of course, we wouldn't expect you to take it yourself while trying to ride a dragon or something... dragons are tricky.

Can we be partially nude eg. Shirtless?
No... I assure you, nobody wants to see that. :P

Why are you doing this?
Just to have some fun in the office, we're not evil geniuses plotting your demise.

But I'm a vampire and don't show in photographs?
Lies, everyone knows true vampires live in the forest and sparkle on camera...

Good luck and have fun! ~ The Fallen Sword Team

We are able to add at least the text or we have to write it anywhere and take the photography?

Some people have an extreme geographical advantage for the competition. I may have to fly out to Mount Everest (obviously climb to the top) and etch www.fallensword.com into the peak.

Very nice, I love the idea so you can count me in.

Although I am curious if your a guy does shirtless count as nudity, or would it be acceptable?
