DESIGN THE NEXT OFFICIAL CULT OF RAPTURE TEE SHIRT
BioShock PS3 is coming out in October of this year, and to celebrate, we are revitalizing the Cult of Rapture and designing a new official shirt for devoted Rapturians.
You will be designing the back of a tee shirt, and must use five (5) or fewer colors to create your design (this includes black and white), however you can specify the color of the shirt you'd like the design printed on (we usually use American Apparel so you can check out their selection while designing.) Your final design should be submitted as a .psd, .ai, or .jpg file in high resolution (2400 by 2400 pixels or larger at 300 DPI.)
A panel of 2K judges will select the winner and three runner-ups for the contest. Judging will be based on originality of design and how well the image represents BioShock, Rapture, and the Cult. Feel free to use any images from the world of Rapture, but please don't take directly from in-game assets and make sure your designs are original!
We will be accepting submissions starting today until July 25th to BioShockContest@2KGames.com with the subject line "Cult of Rapture Tee Shirt Design Contest." Please include your full name, date of birth, and email address with the design. After all submissions have been collected and judged, the grand prize winner and three runner-ups will be announced by the end of July. So put on your best Rapture party mask and start thinking of awesome designs!
SOME STARTING INSPIRATION
We have made several BioShock tee shirts in the past. The two below are from a Threadless design competition held last year. The designs are very different from each other, but can probably help give you a few ideas about what sort of style we want, and how best to use colors!
WHAT'S IN IT FOR ME?
So I'm sure you are wondering what the prizes are for making a kickass design for the Cult of Rapture. So here's the swag:
GRAND PRIZE: Winning design displayed on the Cult and shirts made for devoted members, two exclusive BioShock figurines, 10 of the winning shirts (you choose sizes), a BioShock artbook, and a limited edition BioShock poster signed by 2K Marin
THREE RUNNER-UPS: Designs made into wallpapers and downloadable on the Cult of Rapture, a winning shirt in the size of your choice, a BioShock artbook.
Sound good? Awesome! Let's create the next iconic shirt for the Cult of Rapture.
