Question, how is this different than the previous screenshot "contest" that was just ran?

[megaira13]

Are we allowed to photochop 'em for beauteous prettiness- hence the fan "art" part of the request? Some of the stuff I've seen people come out with, I'd hang on the wall.

[Akyashaa]

<div></div>I must agree, are we alowed to photoshop for this contest? As in alter the screenshot or does it have to be an original screenshot? <div></div><p>Message Edited by Akyashaa on <span class=date_text>07-22-2006</span> <span class=time_text>08:42 PM</span>

<FONT color=#ffcc99>Is there also a deadline?  I can't tell if this is another contest or not.  ^^</FONT>

[pedigr]

Is this like every other contest and only open to people that live in the United States or is it a fair contest open to all that play the game?<div></div>

[pedigr]

Bump, come on, is this another xenophobic/racist competition or what?<div></div>

[Toshikii]

<DIV>I think this is not even a contest. The Fan-art submission has been there for long time, and I think there's no " reward " but the chance of your art being used by SOE for something (like images in the News section and things like that).</DIV>

[Blackguard]

This is not a contest. We're just looking for fan art to put up on a new Fan Art page.<div></div>

I have tried submitting fan art a couple of times and was curious how soon after submission it would be posted to the art gallery.
