The Setup
Pattern? What Pattern?

The Contest
We haven't done one of these in over a year - but hey, when awesome prizes show up on our doorstep, we jump. This one's a good old-fashioned art contest. Submit drawings/pictures of Mister Chief having wacky adventures in older Bungie games. That is, anything that isn't Halo. We're not looking for Van Gogh (or, more topically, Craig Mullins) - see that image above? You can do that. Trust me. (You wouldn't win this contest with it, because there ain't no Mister Chief in it - but we just wanted to show you what quality level would be acceptable.) A team made up of bungie.org and Freeverse staff will pick our favorite seven (whoa! There's that number again!), and they'll each get a copy of the Xbox Live Arcade game, Marathon: Durandal.
The Rules
Rules are simple, and pretty common-sense:
- You can enter as many times as you like, but you can only win once.
- All entries must be uploaded to contestuploads.bungie.org. (If you email them, we will toss them. If you upload them somewhere else, we will toss them. If you stick them in an envelope and send them in via US mail, we will toss them - but we will first ridicule you on our front page.)
- All entries must be in by 9PM, PST, on Wednesday, September 5, 2007. (That's about a week.)
- Judging will be done by HBO/Freeverse, and winners will be announced on September 7th (or soon after if something blows up).
- Judging will be based on the humor of the picture, the creativity of the idea, and how much the Freeverse boys have had to drink. Send us a copy of one of Frankie's existing Mister Chiefs, you're gonna lose. Send us a pic showing the Mister Chief playing bocce with a Big Daddy, using a Little Sister's head as a pallino, we'll report you to the authorities, but you'll lose, because Bioshock is not a Bungie game.
- Keep it relatively clean. R- or X-rated entries stand no chance of winning. Sorry.
- The top 7 entries will win a copy of the Xbox Live Arcade game, Marathon: Durandal.
- Contestants can live anywhere in the world.
- You must own an Xbox 360, and have an Xbox Live membership. The prizes here are copies of Marathon: Durandal - that's an XBL Arcade game, and without Xbox Live (and a 360), you can't play it.
- Per this news post, winners have one week to respond to contest correspondence; after that, the prize will be awarded to someone else. (If we can't find another suitable entry, we'll simply not award the prize.)
- Prizes will be awarded directly by Freeverse, in the form of redemption codes for Xbox Live. No actual software is changing hands. These codes cannot be resold.
Prizes are courtesy of Freeverse, Inc. Because they rock. Hassles involved with the contest are the responsibility of bungie.org. Because we love to deal with your problems.
The Finer Print
This next block was written for the first contest - and amazingly, there were STILL people who did what it says not to do. So I'm leaving the relevant paragraph.
This is the part I hate to write, because it makes me feel bad to think folks are too lazy to actually READ the rules to a contest they're entering... but I'm writing it because folks ARE too lazy, for the most part.
If you send your entry to a different email address (like lwu@bungie.org, or halo@bungie.org, or any OTHER address at bungie.org, or any address at Bungie), or you post your entry on our forum and expect that to suffice as an entry... you ain't gonna win.
The Finest Print
This contest (and all subsequent similar contests) is run by bungie.org. Prizes are normally supplied by Bungie Studios - we are NOT Bungie Studios, we just have a key to their schwag closet. Don't bug them if you've got a problem - bug US. The prizes in THIS case are being supplied by Freeverse, Inc, who were ALSO foolish enough to give us keys to THEIR schwag closet. Don't bug them, either.
