I guess I misunderstood the rules, I thought we had to strictly use the stuff from the package we had to download, some of these entries, although amazing, aren't using any of it.
I voted
Good luck to those who got in!
That was my understanding of it as well.

Yeah we had to. Those entries on the Facebook page do not conform to the rules.
This was the one I submitted

No, they do. From the rules:
"Entrants’ submitted Entries must (i) incorporate only the Sponsor-provided game images as instructed herein...and/or the entrant’s own originally created artwork (“Original Creations”)"

Ugh, it goes without saying that your own artwork is okay, I would've thought that would be clear. I'm talking about artwork in there that is not original and not part of the Sponsor-provided game images. There's stuff in there that is not original artwork, like paintbrushes, backgrounds, etc. No way is that all made from scratch.
And it was supposed to be in the theme of Dragon Age, so Indiana Jones and Batman and Star Wars themed posters should not have been okay.
The original comment was about whether or not entries had to use ONLY the assets provided. That's what you replied to, and what I responded to. And they didn't. If you want to complain about whether or not there's 'original artwork', go ahead, but the final word on what does and doesn't conform to the rules of the competition belongs to, you know, the people running the comp. The finalists are what they are.
Any constructive criticism for mine? I'm newer to Graphic Design and would like some pointers.

The composition is fine, maybe too many people at the bottom. There's nothing wrong with it in itself, but it looks like a generic game poster and BioWare wasn't looking for that. I made that mistake too.
Well, I didn't get in, so here's mine.
I agree with some of the posts here. A lot of those posters aren't as good as some of ones that didn't make it in, and at least a couple probably stole art. ;/
I'm happy to see some from this thread in there, though. I voted for one of them. They really are among the best of the pick.

Oh, the rules, you know, belong to the people running the comp? Really? I'd never have guessed. Because I've got such a giant overinflated ego I assume I'm making the rules, and I'm deciding that the finalists are what they are! Like, totally! I'm just such a raving egomaniac.
Thanks for that astute assesment, I come on this forum to get lectured by someone who is clearly concerned with making me feel as good as possible.

Thank you, that is exactly it. Some posters aren't nearly as good as the ones I've seen in this thread. And that's my personal opinion, which I'm allowed to have.
The voting should have been public right from the start.
I didn't get there. 
Oh well, already new I wasn't going to get there. The ones that did, and had posted them on this thread are very good. Give yourselves a pat on the back. Now, the tough choice of voting.
I didn't get there.
Post yours in here anyway..I wanna see ! 
some of the artwork are really nicely done!
I'm a bit disappointed, but this is the rules. Some of artworks especially drawings are really beautiful. The others one are just too simple for me or too strange for this contest. But good luck guys
Anyway, if you like my works you can vote for me on this another french Dragon Age contest. Thank you

Guess I can upload the not watermarked version now
Not like it makes much of a difference, it was a pretty straight forward poster.
haha, guess I should have drawn something myself instead of relying on the stock images, would have made a better chance.
Awesome stuff though, whichever one wins, it's well deserved.
Hey guys,
There are two dragon age facebook account. ( i think?)
https://www.facebook.com/dragonage.na

Its the same contest but the photo albums are different. So the votes you are looking at your art work might be different from those two.

Howdy, feel free to totally ignore what will follow but as someone who has studied Design to Degree level I may have some pointers.
SCALE! Huge thing, literally, the way some of the characters are positioned the scale is all out of whack. Varric is taller than Sera & Viv's head is the same size as Iron Bull? (!)
That and them being flanked by 2 huge Inquisitors on eiter side, both of which in a different scale to eachother and the followers. Finaly some of the characters are not grounded in the piece, they are just there, not attatched to the ground in any way. A graident and some of the smoke/dust textures could have helped with that.
Hope its useful feedback.
Mine did not make it, oh well there are many good entries. No time for sour grapes
https://www.facebook...?type=3 My brother made that one, we would really appreciate it if you guys could give it a like. That's all and thanks
