UBISOFT announced today that they'll be partnering up with deviantART on a Prince of Persia Fan Art contest:
The Prince of Persia Fan Art contest lays down the challenge for members of the deviantART community to create and deliver their own original interpretations of the striking concept and production artwork that has been created during development.
Not only will winners recieve the respect of their entire communtiy, they're also entitled to an Xbox 360 as well as a Wacom tablet. Invaluable to any budding graphic artist and gamer. Besides the fact that the entire UBISOFT Montreal team are big fans of deviantART, they've also got a special place in their hearts for a community that pushes artistic boundaries as they feel they have with the forthcoming Prince of Persia. Long story short, they're looking for inspired submissions, as they believe the artistic direction behind the title was inspired as well.
Matt Benson, Brand Manager at Ubisoft UK said “The art delivered by the development team is both unique and extremely inspirational. We're big fans of deviantART here and we look forward to inspired competition submissions from the raw talent within this active and engaging community.”
Don't cry American gamers, but this Fan Art contest is only available to UK residents ages 13 and above. If you do live in the UK, get on it! If not, feel free to be depresssed, doodle on your personal Wacom tablet and browse through the Fan Art contest submissions all while grumbling to yourself about what a better artist you are than those folks. We're on your side.
