Guild Wars 2

The Legendary Look

The allure of the Legendary pieces can’t be denied and devising the perfect ensemble to show them off in clever and unique ways is the focus of this month’s fashion contest. Break out your Legendary and have some fun! Or craft the perfect armor set in celebration of your favorite. We want to see your Legendary Ensemble in its best light, so be sure to pay close attention to your screenshots and presentation. This contest is a little different from the previous ones, so read on for more details.

In addition to this subreddit contest, we will be co-hosting a fashion show with the ultimate fashion guild, How Do I [look]. Details as I get them straightened out! Look for this event to fall the Saturday after the contest deadline and to take place at the [look] guild hall in NA (since this is where I’m running atm, though plans for the future include EU events, too! The devil is in the details and as soooooon as we get them worked out, I’ll update!)

Judges Panel:

• /u/LinseyMurdock, Live Lead Designer GW2
• /u/Yumeijin, December’s Judges’ Pick Winner
• DyeJob Moderator aka Yours Truly

The Rules:

• One entry per race per person.
• Use GW2 Style to present your entry, and complete the process by including the armor and dyes used. Other venues will not be considered. Post in gw2dyejob once you’ve set up your look at GW2 Style. Format your post to lead with [Legendary] and be sure to add “contest” flair. Start your own thread for each entry. This is so you can get votes for the popular portion of the contest. *
• No “Outfits” allowed.
• You must identify the specific Legendary on which you are basing your look. The actual Legendary is not required to appear in every (or even any) screenshot. However, presentation matters so be aware that screenshots from preview screens may not carry as much weight and eye-appeal as those not in preview screens. If you have questions, please be sure to ask here or message me.

Things to Know:

• There will be two winners – One selected by three appointed judges and one by “popular vote”. Popular vote will be determined by the number of upvotes, so be sure to tick that pink karma up arrow for your favorites and pass the word to your friends and guildies.
• Presentation matters! Take care with your screenshots, both location and composition. Make sure we can plainly see your character (don’t take your screenie scrolled too far out) and take the time to get in a good location that fits with the theme of your outfit and the Wintersday Parade! While this is not a screen shot competition, a well-crafted screenie is going to please the Judges’ eyes. (For more tips on taking screenshots, check out the wiki.)
• Graphics enhancements such as SweetFx are not encouraged.
• I’m aware that not everyone has a Legendary and that some people may feel excluded. This is addressed by not requiring the Legendary to be in every (or even any, as the case may be) screenshot. This allows for a lot of freedom and creativity and everyone, even those without Legendaries, is encouraged to participate. Judging ultimately is based on the ARMOR ensemble. Just remember that the judges are human and presentation plays a role in these things.

Deadline:
Wednesday, February 10th, 2016, 12am Est. Here’s your countdown clock. Winners will be announced no later than Saturday, the 13th.

Prizes:

• Judges Pick: TBA
• Popular Pick: TBA
• Both Judges’ Pick and the Popular Pick will be granted “Contest Winner” user flair.

Hoping to have a creative brainstorm any minute of a different and useful prize this time around, but if not, they’ll be the gold and transmutation charges again.
