Hello Hawkenites. I would like to promote community growth and encourage newcomers to get involved. Therefore i have decided to host a contest. The contest will have 2 distinct and exclusive parts.

Part 1: The beauty.
Make an art piece that is related to hawken. This can be anything from a song, a video, a drawing, claymation, interpretive dance, you name it. Post said piece in its own topic on the forums in the appropriate subsection. Link the post in this thread.

Part 2: The brains.
Make a guide to hawken. The subject of the guide is not restricted to anything as long as it is related to hawken. Post the guide on the forums and link the post to this thread.

Criteria's of selection.
The submission will be judged and picked based on how accurate/relevant the submission is.
In addition the amount of likes your post gets might influence the decision of the judges.

Choosing a winner.
The top 10 submissions sent for each category will be decided by the panel of judges. I will then post a Poll on the forums and the submission who gets the most votes after a week will win the 7-day EXP boost.

The panel of judges.
The judges will consist of the people active in the SK mumble at the time of the actual choosing of the top 10 as well as possibly (they have yet to be informed of this) the 4 hosts of "the cockpit". I can foresee some legal issues if the devs publicly support this endeavor but i would still like to send them an open invitation to being on the panel of judges, your involvement will remain secret.



Rules:
1. Have a Hawken account created after 12/12/12 and before 25/01/13. (Anyone caught smurfing will not be eligible)
2. Post your submissions on the forums and then link the post to this thread.
3. Reply before the deadline of 25/02/13.
4. Only one submission per person will be taken into account. We will choose the best submission per person.
5. Submission must be Hawken related.
6. WolfyFTW is not eligible because hes Boss and already has the greatest guides around(PM me if you wish to be on the panel of judges i respect your skill and intellect and would be glad to hear your opinion on the subject)

P.S. I am bad at expressing myself through text. If anyone want to help me make this post more appealing please send me a PM.

P.S.S. If anyone sees any conflicting rulesets or loopholes please let me know so i can adjust the OP asap.

Lastly keep this thread alive by posting in it so the Newbies can get a chance to notice and participate.

You will not be forced to judge.
Judging will be 100% voluntary.
However i do expect you to chime in with your magical unicorn skills to help us determine how accurate and useful the guides will be.

Yes very much so.
I look forward to having a compilation of the lore in a single place.

But remember you can only win 1 of the 2 boosts.
You can participate twice tho, but we will only pick 1 of your multiple submissions.
So, you have nothing to lose by doing both of them.

Click me! I dare you.

Some may not call poetry manly, but I tend to disagree.

Here is my Beauty entry: http://community.pla...anly-mech-peom/

I know it isn't as impressive as something drawn, but oh well.

Wow...after seeing, what I believe to be, the first entry in the contest...wow. if this keeps up, we are going to see some really creative talent on display.

It's unfortunate I am not eligible to be a judge. :(

Come on, all eligible contestants! Show us your creative genius! :)

Hey, great idea with the competition h0B0! Since I don't qualify I thought I'd help promote it with a little creativity of my own
Its just something lighthearted, enjoy!

Also this is a bump for any newbies to get involved in the competition :D

Great piece, and a good bump to get this back on the front page. I would hate to be the only person to do anything for the competition, and I want to see some more guides and art by the community. I know there is creativity floating around out there! GET ON IT!
