Every year we have a retro themed Valentine's Day card contest. This year we are also giving away real prizes to the winner!
Prizes: Generously donated by Retro-Daze.org.
The winner may select any ONE of these prizes.
- 40 Nintendo Power Magazines from the late 80's - early 90s.
- A working N64 with 5 games. All you need is a TV.
- 1 XBox 360 Controller that plays on an XBox and PC. Works with Retro Uprising games.
- Two SNES style Tomee USB game controllers plus two 6 button Sega Saturn dog bone style USB controllers manufactured by Sega for the PC. All 4 work with PC games including Retro Uprising and will let you play 4 player games. These controllers are very cool and retro, but the Xbox controller is of higher quality and will last longer.
The controllers are brand new of course. The magazines, N64 and games are obviously used but tested and working.
Free shipping to continental U.S. and Canada.
Plus you will win a nifty badge (little icon) next to your user name to let everyone know you won.
Rules:
- Make a retro themed Valentine's Day card. (See past year's contests below for examples.)
- Post your image in this thread.
- You can submit as many entries as you want.
- You can not re-submit entries from previous years - has to be brand new.
- You must make the card yourself. No stealing or plagiarizing. However you do not have to create it completely from scratch. You can start with a screenshot or other piece of art and add to it.
Deadline:
- You must post your card here by midnight February 14, 2013 PST.
Winning:
- On February 15th my girlfriend will pick her favorite 20 retro themed Valentine's Day cards.
- I will then create a poll and list those top 20 cards.
- The poll will last two weeks and end at the end of the month.
- The card that gets the most votes in the poll will win the contest and select a prize from the list above.
- No cheating. Fishy votes will not count. Example, creating fake accounts or asking all of your buddies to create accounts and vote for you. Let the voting happen naturally and give everyone a fair chance based on the quality of their design, not the quantity of their friends.
