Easter Egg Spriting Contest
--------------------------------

The outside world is white, temperatures are way too low and everyone longs for the warmer season to come back... so let's use our time with decorating some Easter Eggs for our new Spriting Contest and before you know it, Spring and Easter will have arrived!

Okay, so we need to fill the next few weeks till Easter and painting eggs also takes some time... so I think each user will be able to decorate five eggs if they feel like it.

The Easter Egg Hunt usually starts one week before Easter and lasts a few days after, so everyone will have enough time to search for the hidden eggs. More specific details will be revealed when the Hunt starts ;)

Okay, so for now, let's go back to the actual egg painting!
We'll provide you with a template, so you guys can try and design your own Easter Eggs for the Hunt, sounds good??
Yea? Alright Spriters! Download the template, start your graphic programs and load your coloured pixels, because it's time to get creative and create some awesome eggs!

Reward

Yes, there will also be a reward! :D
A contest wouldn't be a contest if there was no reward, even though spriting can be fun and the experience to create something new can be rewarding by itself, right?
Every designer who joins/qualifies at least one egg receives 1,000 Event Points to do with as they please as a participation prize!
To further motivate you, you will also have the chance to win 5,000 Event Points if one of your eggs makes it to the top 20 and those eggs will be made the official eggs for this year's Easter Hunt =D

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I design more than one egg?
A: Sure you can! Just keep in mind that you'll only win the prize once, as they're limited to one per user. Also, only up to 5 will qualify for voting.
Q: Can Staff join?
A: Yes they can.
Q: Why though?
A: We feel that everyone should have the chance to participate in a contest if they wish to do so. If a Staff member enters, they'll simply be excluded from the voting process.
