Art Contest



Back to Jangband home page


This is the Jangband art contest page. The winner is Gayla Drummond
of http://chicksinchainmail.com Here is the winning entry.



Here are the rules that the contest followed. I'm keeping them
up for historical purposes. Maybe I'll run another contest for
sprite creation next year if I'm feeling rich.


Art Contest Purpose

Jangband is a free game under development. The game and the
source code will be given away for free. Many computer
programmers will contribute to this game for free. Think of it
as a communal hobby.

The problem is that computer programmers typically are not
artists. We need contributions from real artists.

Because everything about this game will be free for downloading
and for reuse in other programs, the images also have to be
free. Proprietary clip art and restrictive copyrights cannot further
the cause of free software.


Current Contest

Create a splash screen for the game complete with game title.

It's that simple.


The Prize

$200 US dollars is the prize for the first contest. The prize money
will be donated by Gene Davis Software. It will be paid with a US
check drawn on a US bank in US dollars.


Deadline

The deadline is June 30, 2006.


Rules

All art work must be unique and created by the contestant.

Entries must be presented in PNG RGB format at a resolution and
size that can be used either unmodified or easily modified in the
game Jangband.

All winners must turn their winning piece of art over to the public
domain upon collection of their prize. Simply acknowledging this in the
email entry will be enough.

Once again, the prize money will be donated by Gene Davis Software.

Rules are subject to change and/or interpretation solely by Gene Davis.

Email your entries to:

email address

Include a statement of your intention to turn the copyright over to the
public domain if you win. Include your name, street address and email
address for contacting if you win. Also, include a link (if desired) to
your home page.


Public Display

All entries will be posted on this site for public display, so this is
is a good oportunity to do a little free advertising for your art.

Good luck!
