MEGAEGG: An Easter Egg Design Speggtacular
Brought to you by the Community Team

Greetings fellow Clubbers,

Here is a new take on our design contests that you've seen before. With the new Inventory addition, the winner of this contest will have their image displayed as an Event Inventory Item - like the Conquer Clovers and Conquer Hearts that you've seen on Saint Patrick's Day and Valentine's Day.

Here's the task: Design an Easter egg that you'd like to see integrated into the Inventory system. All entries will be sent anonymously to an panel of TeamCC users where the winner will be determined.

This is the first activity in the upcoming MEGAEGG event. For participating in this contest you score inventory Eggs for use in MEGAEGG (that might include your own egg if you are a winner!).

Prizes:
1st place - 15 Eggs and a General Achievement Medal
2nd place - 10 Eggs and a General Achievement Medal
3rd place - 5 Eggs and a General Achievement Medal
4th and 5th place - General Achievement Medal
1 Egg for each valid submission, max 5
(Max of 1 General Achievement Medal will be awarded)

Here's the rundown:
1. ALL ENTRIES MUST BE 70x70 pixels. ALL entries not following this rule will result in immediate disqualification as the images needed for Inventory must be this size
2. Use an image editing program to design your egg (GIFs not allowed, background should be transparent)
3. Upload it to a website such as Photobucket or Imageshack to get a direct URL
4. All entries are to be sent to me, Gilligan, with the PM subject "Easter Egg Contest"
5. All entries must be received by CC Time: 2014-04-10 23:59:59
6. You can send in a maximum of 5 entries
7. Have fun!

do the background needs to be transparent?

by **dgz345** on Wed Apr 02, 2014 6:47 pm

all the current items is .png and have transparent background. but it doesnt state anywhere that it must be transparent. but i think personally that it should fit the others so you cant have like a rainbow colored background

by **dakky21** on Wed Apr 02, 2014 8:26 pm

since they're one time items only, some exceptions could be made? :-D

No gifs, either.

yea its no template because it can look however you like. as long as it it 70x70pix

if i submitted 5 entries could i theoretically win all 5 medals but only get awarded 1 of them?

by **Tviorr** on Tue Apr 08, 2014 2:38 pm

Looks like it, but youd get 35 eggs ;-)

good point hadn't thought of that

Yes this is true. Seems crazy to get 5 medals for one event

When are the results comming in?

by **jonofperu** on Sun Apr 13, 2014 9:25 pm

by **Gilligan** on Mon Apr 14, 2014 1:46 pm

I would say when the main event starts

by **dakky21** on Mon Apr 14, 2014 4:04 pm

So Gilligan, 17.04. you will announce the winners? Tell me so I don't have to open this thread every few minutes

5th place - Hannibal 19!

4th place - dakky21!

3rd place - jonofperu!

2nd place - dakky21 (again!)

Ha... some good ones, nice work guys!! =D>

I'd be interested in seeing the whole lot. How many ended up coming in?

Since the event started, when can we expect our eggs, since we need them for the tourney?

Soon, I would think. BW knows about it.

Eggs Issued - And since the number of eggs required doubled in the time after we released this contest, we doubled the prizes. Congrats everyone, some really impressive egg designers we have!
