blaaarg, money involved? We ran a Team Fortress 2 Contest not too long ago, maybe you saw it, maybe you didn't. We has so much traffic that it took Polycount down and made it run slow for weeks (we had no banner ads at the time either - so no revenue from that). The contest started as scheduled, it ended as scheduled, the…
you wouldn't be paying to make your art, you'd be paying to enter his contest, and helping to pay for the prizes you're competing for. It's not an uncommon practice.
LOLLLL!!!!!! My Dream was to compete in a Dominance War contest along the line of my ...learning path? lol I hope this is not the end of Dominance War : O

I have never been that active in Game artisans forums. Why dosnt polycount do their own contests? Hope I am not stepping on any toes, just would like to know.
Yeah this is why I do not help in any way what so ever anymore with anything GA contest related. I got sick of the delays, broken promises, shadyness of everything, some people not getting prizes, and just how unorganized it really was and still is. These contests were never to better the community. It was a way for…
