- Due to the long hours spent working on the program for Moria, we have had
- no time (or talent) to create pictures for the game. Thus, we have decided
- to once again do what no other public domain game has ever done before.
- Run a Moria art contest! There were two winners in our first contest. The
- picture that comes up at the beginning of Moria was sent in by Peter Gage.
- The picture that appears when you enter the dungeon was sent in by Vaugn
- Reavis and Nat Stillmaker.
-
- The game needs three more pictures to enhance it's playability. One
- picture for the town, one for when you die, and another, for the very
- unlikely event that someone might win. Three prizes will be awarded, one
- prize for each of the above categories (town, death, winning). The prizes
- will be $25.00 and your name in the credits for the game. (Total prize
- money is $75).
-
- How it Works:
-
- 1. You read the rules (This step is optional but highly recommended).
- 2. You draw (or digitize) a picture of your own creation.
- 3. You send us a disk(s) with a COPY of your picture(s) on it (stored in
- IFF form (not pasted to the side)) by June 1st. A self-addressed
- stamped envelope (SASE) sent along with your picture disk will ensure
- the return of your disk(s).
- 4. We judge the art and decide which is best (by June 10th).
- 5. If you win, we mail you $25.00 and your disk(s) along with Moria 4.0.
- 6. If you lose, and have sent a self-addressed stamped envelope (SASE)
- with your picture disk, we will mail you your disk(s) along with
- Moria 4.0.
- 7. If you lose, and did NOT send a SASE, we keep the disk(s).
-
-
- Rules:
-
- 1. All pictures must be original (we don't want to be sued for putting
- it in Moria) material. Digitized pictures are fine IF, they are from
- original materials (NO Frazetta rip offs).
- 2. All pictures must be on a 3.5" disk in IFF format (Deluxe Paint, Photon
- Paint, DigaPaint, AegisImages, IntroCad, ...).
- 3. Pictures will be released as part of the public domain game "Moria"
- (Version 4.0).
- 4. If no pictures are received for a given category (Town, Death, Winning)
- then no prize will be awarded for that category. (Who would we give it
- to?). Note: no prizes were awarded in our first contest for the death
- or winner pictures because we did not receive any entries.
- 5. We reserve the right to replace any or all pictures in versions of Moria
- released after December 1, 1989. (We may want to run another contest).
- 6. Enter as often as you like.
-
-
- Judges:
-
- 1. Richard Henderson
- 2. Chip Flemming
- 3. Bryan Henderson
-
- These judges were picked because they created and payed for the contest.
-
-
- Criteria:
-
- 1. Appropriateness for one of the three pictures in Moria (Town, Death,
- or Winning). (Hint: A picture of your favorite car is probably not
- going to fit in the Moria motif.)
- 2. Artistic content as viewed by the judges. We're going to pick the
- pictures that look the best.
- 3. If you are a single female, a picture of yourself and a telephone
- number may influence Bryan or Chip.
- 4. Bribes will be accepted.
