I think I might enter that art prize >.>... and then give away the XBOX stuff if I win.
It looks like a lot of the entrants are not following the istructions, particularly in regards to the size requirement.
I just had a glance at all of the entries so far and it looks like we definitely stand a fighting chance. Let's doooo ittttt! I started my sketch last night.

i remember when they did a contest for the world ends with you, and people were like 'square are going to steal your designs and give you nothing!!'
please tell me no one is saying anything like that this time

The fine details are all in the official rules.
There's this:
So you may not be able to apply any physical evidence that it is your drawing. But which one of us is so popular that people would even recognize our signature or name if any of us won?
There's this little reassurance:
Provided that you don't steal anything from anyone, blah blah blah.
But then there's this:
Which may not fly with some artists.
I really like this one:
So if 'your' character design shows up in FFXIII-7 at some point down the line, it will only be a coincidence.
I don't know...I don't see this as being a problem unless one of us here is a professional artist who has something to lose by participating. In which case...just don't participate.

Yeah, if Nomura actually says, "Well, shit, that's better than I would have done," um, be honored? Brag about it? Advertise yourself with it? Not like you won't have proof that you did it or anything. It's sort of a big, public contest.
And like you said, Howl, if someone's that damn concerned about it, just don't participate.

Gosh, I've been observing the comments on DA's contest page and there sure is a lot of complaining going on. "Why this", "what about that", "this isn't clear". This is what I wrote:
Stop asking questions and get started, people!!!
Too much complaining, my gaaaawddd.

with the twewy contest people thought that square were making people design a character for free, which they would then put into the game and screw over the poor artist
that didn't happen, of course
when they say you get to retain property of it, that sounds fine to me? i mean, even if they did use it in the game, that means you should at least get credit for it (name in the ending credits or something--the little kid who designed one of the bonus dresspheres for ffx-2 international through a contest got his name in the credits). not having an obnoxious watermark or signature is probably because they will be using it to make promo stuff with, and having like half a signature or cropped out watermark would look crap. and the 'coincidental similarities' one i guess is just to cover them from someone coming along down the line and saying 'that part of that design looks like this part of my design'.
i would enter because i want the cash (and wouldn't mind an xbox i guess, though i'd probably see the games since i have them all already), but i don't know if i have the time to make the entry and i'm not very good

I've seen your art thread and you are good.
Not to mention that there are only like two good entries so far.
Although I expect the more quality ones to show up towards the end of the deadline...from people who invested time in it and whatnot.

the 'snake eater' entry omg
that isn't even snake eater, it's peace walker's militaires sans frontieres (not to mention against the rules)
the early entries lull you into a false sense of security and confidence and then all the ridiculously good ones will appear at the last minute and crush my dreams of getting $1000
