Hey everyone! In order to generate some Splatoon hype, some of us have decided to host an art contest! We're hoping to bring out the creative side of the Splatoon community with this, so even if you're not confident in your art, or if you usually only doodle, we want to encourage you to post something! We'll be advertising this contest to a few other places, so put on your game face and draw! Let's go over the rules: - Create a piece of Splatoon related artwork that clearly includes at least one Inkling
- Submissions will be posted on this thread
- Submissions are open starting today, February 9th, and will go until March 2nd at 11:59 PM. 3 weeks!
- Winners will be decided by private judges. After Submissions close, we'll take 3 days to judge the submissions, and come to a conclusion on March 5th
- Forum guests are allowed to submit, so long as they provide a way for us to contact them in the post (Reddit, Twitter, and Tumblr accounts are acceptable if you're uncomfortable sharing your email on a public forum)
- No NSFW submissions
- No harassing other contestants in or out of the thread
- No stolen art
- Only one submission per contestant
- breaking any of the last 4 rules will result in immediate disqualification
- Open to NA and Europe only
Sound good? Let's talk prizes! The prizes will be going to the top 3 submissions! All three will be receiving Nintendo eShop Points. 1st place will be getting $50 worth, 2nd $25, and 3rd $10. So let's get straight into it! Submissions are open starting now. Post your art in the thread, and let's go! Best of luck!

This sounds like a ton of fun! I'm not all that good at art but I will probably enter anyways!

Can we use any type of artistry? For example, could I scan in a drawing or even use Art Academy Wii U?

You should probably invite members from Deviantart to enter the contest too.

There's nothing stopping you, me, or anyone else who already knows about this contest from spreading the word on social media and other Splatoon communities. Whether or not one wants to go out of their way to take the time to advertise it is up to them though there's no doubt that doing so will be vital in drumming up actual submissions. We know there are some fantastic Splatoon fan-artists out there that would be thrilled to take a stab at it.
I'd honestly be surprised if word of this contest isn't already being spread around the internet. It's unfortunate it's open to NA and Europe only. Why is that exactly? Is it something to do with the prize being eShop points?

Can you enter multiple times? Nope! Sorry, one submission per person, so make it good! I'll add this to the rules just to be safe.

I suck at art but I'll enter just for the fun of it. I'm part of a mario kart forum that I could advertise this to as well, I'll try my best to spread the word.

I shared about the contest in Smashboards in multiple places now. Hopefully we'll get more to join.
