What the hell!? I'm not elligible cause I'm a Serbian / Croatian citizen!? I think my heart just broke. I wanted in so badly.

You could ask someone on the forums to send it in with your name credited maybe?

I don't think my name can even be credited? Can BW please clarify on this? I'm disappointed beyond words.

Yeah, it says on the rules BW will assume whoever submitted it was the one who did it, so even if someone submits it for you, you won't be credited.

Trust me, I'm equally heartbroken.

Are we allowed to use MS Paint? (Despite the very low chance of winning with a banner created in MS Paint)

Hahaha, that's pretty much the extent of my skills and programs as well.

I'm almost half-tempted to try and do one anyway and submit it. Ought to make the folks at BioWare laugh, at any rate. LOL

I might actually choose the Biotic banner after this. #volushate

edit:  Seriously though, great idea.  Thanks for enabling this kind of thing.  I'm sure we'll get some great stuff to choose from.

I think this is a wonderful idea!!! We have a lot of talented people around here so this should be interesting to watch.

Well, they could submit it for me and use my name as theirs. But even if that's not possible, I'm tempted to submit it through someone else and let them take the credit, as long as I can participate.
I shouldn't have to do this. These rules are nonsensical. There's no actual reward anyway.

Ugh, I know! What is the legal issue here? Seriously.<_<

Guess I can't enter my 'Baggage' banner for successfully being carried for 200 waves.

Edit: Can we submit banners featuring our own Shepards?

So we might finally get a serious banner for biotic mastery, hopefully it will have an asari.

[sliverofamoon]

I hope someone comes up with a nice Biotic Goddess banner! Can't wait to see!

Is Bioware going to play favorites again for this contest, or does everyone have a fair chance?

I don't disagree.

Can the winner set a challenge for it to be acquired also?

Law is a tricky thing.  International law is even more convoluted.  Here we're talking about a bunch of different laws mingling.  There are different laws that govern how contests in general operate from country to country and even between different states/provinces within a country.  Hence the Quebec exclusion.  Laws include age limits, purchase requirements, and a bunch of other things I personally am only vaguely aware of but know exist.  Google it if you must.

Beyond laws pertaining to contests, they're adding in a layer of copyright law.  It is certain that the submitter forfeits their claim to ownership of the artwork they submit.  Bioware could not possibly safely use your banner in game (there's your "actual reward", by the way... pride) if they did not assume ownership of the art.  Again, transfer of ownership of copyrighted materials is a tricky thing and laws vary wildly from region to region.

Occam's Razor tells us that it is more sensible to assume Bioware has this restricted list of countries because they must rather than any other reason, because any other reason is more complicated and requires more leaps of speculation.

Download the template provided by Bioware on the blog, it has the faded edges incuded.

Someone please think of a better Biotic Mastery banner than the current one.

Thanks for the clarification,i'm brazilian and didn't know why i could not enter the contest. Just a shame someone else had to clarify that other than bioware

Kinda odd that it wouldn't be "25 lucky winners will have their banners chosen". More winners which means a higher likelihood of winning, and every banner gets an alternate scheme. It'd be a win-win.

Oh well, this just means we all have to try harder!

Damn, that must mean I can't just use GIMP for this.

Unless it's just simply not required, maybe? I mean, I have a banner up and ready to go at a moment's notice, but I have no way of putting the faded edges on. I mean, I get that they would have to be added on by someone, but...

I have a question, actually, are the submissions really going to be on the template provided ( 512x128 pixels at 72 dpi)? It seems so small as to be unusable in the game itself. I would think they would need a much bigger file.

[mybudgee]

This could be the coolest thing Biower has ever done. I am stunned...

[ol MISAKA lo]

Okay, I myself don't have Photoshop, but Gimp. Also I don't have the fonts used on this .psd so when i click on the layer of the text, it assumes its an image rather than text. My question is: will the text on the banner be necessary for the submissions?

[Ultimo_Cleric01]

Amazing......love you guys Bioware. Really

I haven't used GIMP in a while but wasn't there a filter that precisely did the faded edges?

You could also simulate it with a soft brush I guess, though that'd be annoying.

That's the size of all the banners in game, you can see it for yourself in the N7HQ page. They are stretched in game obviously.

You definitely don't want to submit the final entry with the text, that's only so that you can see how it'll look like. You can leave the text in different layers if you submit it in .psd format, but certainly remove it all if you submit a flat image.
