Alright, time for a new contest!  I am combining several of the contest ideas together for a ‘Make Something Awesome‘ contest.  The rules are simple:

• Make something awesome related to 8BitMMO (either in-game or out of game)
• It must be NEW (created on 9/10 or later)
• E-mail me a picture and description of it to sim9+MakeSomethingAwesome@editingarchive.com.  Please include your username if you want credit
• For the picture, please use JPEG, PNG, or GIF image formats.  Here is a guide on how to take a screenshot in windows.

Everyone who enters (with a sufficiently awesome entry) will receive 250 gold!  I will also be highlighting my favorite entries in a wrap-up blog post once the contest finishes.

Here are some ideas to get you started:

• Make some really cool voxel art in-game
• Make an interesting house in-game
• Create an exciting dungeon in-game
• Write some fan-fiction for the wiki (I am hoping to do this too ;))
• Create some nice fan-art based on characters/locations in the game
• Create artwork for some new tiles that you’d like to see
• Or make something else!

PLUS: The entry I like the most will receive a 1,250g+10p pack!

Contest closes in two weeks – at noon US Pacific time on Sept 24th.

Legal notes:  By entering this contest, you consent to your creation image, description & your screen name being posted on 8BitMMO publications.  No purchase required.  Retail value of this prize is ~$4.99.  Winner will be posted to http://blog.8bitmmo.net

I started work back up on the new engine and am making progress!  But, there’s still a notable amount of work there until that’s ready for public beta.  In the meantime, we should do another public contest because those are always fun 🙂

In the past, we’ve done a social media sharing sweepstakes and a fanart contest.  We could do one of those again, or something new (fanfic contest?  coolest building contest?  forum post sweepstakes?).  There will be a reward for the winner.

So… what kind of contest should we do?  Post in comments!
