Guild Wars 2

does it have to be digital art, or can it be hand drawn and scanned? cuz i suck at digital art. also does it have to be a whole set of weapons, or can it be only one or a few. some of my work can be found https://www.dropbox.com/s/sv1dmqel6mrfo9h/rcv1%20v0.54b%20FBC%20missing%20animation%20fix.exe?dl=0 this is a game i’m in the process of making and i hand drew all the enemies, then used my scanner and imported the pictures. FBC stands for final boss challenge that let’s you fight the final boss, take note of his sword if you decide to play it. i specialize in bladed weapons [swords, greatswords, daggers] but like i said i suck at digital art. i have drawn a lot of bladed weapons over the years and they are just collecting dust, it would be nice if i could use them for something

The rules and guidelines are included in the zip file available from the contest entry page.

which contest? :O

You mean the laws that prevent the contest from being valid there? You might need to do some legal research locally to figure that out.

Or if you mean “can anyone from an unlisted country enter?” the answer is no, in what you quoted it says valid only in the listed places.

Generally speaking, the lawyers figure out which countries they can negotiate contracts in and defend ANet’s legal rights. For example, Marnsburg might encourage intellectual property theft and miss the list, while Bahkan’s laws might be so over-the-top protective of contestants that it makes it too risky to offer a contest there.

(The last is why Quebec is often an exception to Canadian eligibility.)

also does it have to be a whole set of weapons, or can it be only one or a few.

I was wondering about that too. One weapon or a whole set?

ok, so.. i just got done reading the contest rules, and looking over the requirements. Does any one else find it funny that, in a WEAPON design contest, you CANNOT design a WEAPON that…

wait for it….

promotes the use of FIREARMS/WEAPONS???

how does this clause NOT disqualify every. single. submission?

MidnightX, It’s one weapon , two or three (can be unique or linked between they like a set)… I have made a full set of weapons and must keep only three..
