Announcing the City of Heroes® Design a Loading Screen Contest!

2010 has certainly been a creative year as far as our City of Heroes contests go. We asked you to design a Valentine’s card for War Witch and you sent us tons of romantic and pink-laden cards. We asked you to collage EMPulse’s and TheOcho’s face in various environments and we got the most humorous situations we could have expected. We asked you to design billboards or graffiti that determined your allegiance to the Loyalist or Resistance factions and you showed us how resourceful you would be in Praetoria. We asked you to write haikus to show us how excited you are to get started with City of Heroes Going Rogue and you’ve proven to us that excitement could be contained in a mere 17 syllables.

Well guess what? It is only going to get better...starting now!

This time around, not only are we asking you to be creative, we may also reward some of you with a spot into the game, meaning that if your loading screen design is selected as a winning entry, you may well end up seeing it in the game...along with thousands and thousands of other players!

Isn’t that the optimal creative reward?
