Dev Blog: A Call To Art – Decorating CCP Customer Support!

Dearest space faring artisans,

Would you like to be the first player in the long and storied history of EVE to have your artwork formally displayed in CCP’s Reykjavik office?

CCP Customer Support formally requests your talents!  Our neighbouring Virtual World and I.T. Wizards have recently expanded their office here in CCP Reykjavik, and in the process this has left the CS department with a pretty uninspiring view, or what the art world would call “A blank canvas”.

Inspired by works of art that have been sent to our Game Masters via the support system, we wanted to ask the community to submit some truly great works of art based on the EVE universe.

The two best entries will be printed on a massive scale (135×270 cm) and displayed in our Reykjavik office for all to see and enjoy.

Our Call To Art submissions will be reviewed by our CS Customer Art Representing EVE judges comprised by volunteers from our GM team along with expert assistance from our geniuses in the Art department.

The rules are quite simple:

Please send us your EVE art submission before midnight UTC on April 30th, while adhering to the image requirements and reviewing our terms & conditions for this event.  You’ll then be in with a chance of having your work displayed on the walls of CCP, with winners also receiving some very exclusive signed swag along with well-deserved bragging rights.

Requirements:

Full Image specifications:

• The image will be printed on a 135cm x 270cm (2:1 landscape) canvas.
• This requires a minimum of 72 DPI at full size.
• File format should be uncompressed .PDF, .PNG or .JPEG format.
• Should your file be too large to e-mail then we will arrange file transfer via dropbox, alternatively you may host it externally yourself.

Submission process:

• Please send a scaled preview of your work (less than 5mb) to [email protected] and where possible include a download link to the full version.

Terms & Conditions:

• Please be sure to read our standard EVE Online contests policy before submitting your entries: http://community.eveonline.com/support/policies/eve-contests/
• We are only able to accept online entries, hard copies cannot be accepted or returned.
• The closing date for submissions is Midnight UTC on Thursday, April 30th 2015.
• Winners will be announced on Monday, May 9th 2015.

That’s it for now space friends. Happy… arting?

Cheers,

Lead GM Grave
