The kind folks behind Dawn of War 2 have offered us some great prizes for a dawn of war themed contest. After some thinking we have decided to go for an open category contest...

Any single entry, from the Dawn of War logo burnt onto a piece of toast, photoshopped into Times Square, tattooed to your face, or intricately modelled into a piece of scenery is acceptable. If anyone wanted to try their hand at a battle scene or diorama they could, as long as it sufficiently evoked an aura of the game. Why not build some true-scale blood ravens wargear, or dress up as a Tyranid in Dawn of War 2 colours? The sky's the limit.

Anything related to Dawn of War 2 is acceptable and the contest will be judged by overall coolness. If you are entering a model (painted or constructed) or artwork then you must provide a WIP picture as well to ensure that nobody is submitting old work or other people's work. Make sure your camera date/time is set correctly as we'll be checking image timestamps as well.

To enter, simply email machinegod@dakkadakka.com with your entry. One entry per person, with a deadline of 9-Mar-2009 at 12.00 noon GMT. All entries will be posted here and voted on by an anonymous cabal that is yet to be decided. Overall coolness will be the criteria used in judging so make it interesting!

There are 3 prizes:

First Prize
x1 T-Shirt (L)
x1 Body Warmer (L)
x1 Dog Tag
x1 Rucksack
x1 Battlegear Keyring

Second Prize
x1 Tote Bag
x1 T-Shirt (L)
x1 Battlegear Pin Badge
x1 Cap

Runner Up
x1 Dog Tag
x1 Body Warmer (L)

Good luck and make it awesome!

p.s. Thanks to Arctik_Firangi and the DCMs for contest ideas.

Like, you totally can't own ideas maaaaan... They're like the wind or something.
Which one though? To do it properly you need a 16x16 square of... 'toasts', and a gas torch. Grafitti is dead. Toastwalling is in.

EDIT: 256 slices of bread with a single dual toaster...

Less than 2 days left now folks! We've still not had many entries yet, so if you can knock something out tomorrow then you stand a good chance of getting some prizes.
