Contest Summary: Submit a title and a short description for an adventure suitable for use with Gutshot.
Every month in 2007 and through the start of 2008, we'll select at least one entry, prepare it for publication, and release it as a PDF for free download at our Website. That person will receive a free "La Vaquera" miniature. In May 2008 , we'll select the best adventure of the year and award that author the Grand Prize. The general public will vote on the remaining authors and that winner will receive the Jury's Prize in January 2008. Two drawings will also be held: random winners will be selected from everyone who submitted a valid adventure idea, and from everyone else who voted.
Everyone worldwide (all submissions must be in English)
Contest at a glance
You submit a title and short description for a Wild West skirmish game (you may send it by e-mail or post it in our forum).
You may enter more than once (and we may select you more than once).
At least once per month, the Hawgleg Posse will select one entry and prepare it for publication (we’ll provide artwork, maps, editing, and flesh out the story if needed).
These adventure will be published as a PDF and posted for FREE download at the Hawgleg Website (we do not charge for them, nor do we require registration for people to download them).
Your byline will appear on the published adventure, and in the contest directory.
You will also receive a “La Vaquera” miniature (if we publish more than one of your adventures, we may contact you and offer you an alternate mini ).
Sometime in May 2008, the Hawgleg Posse will select their favorite adventure of the year: this adventure will be awarded the Judge’s Prize (grand prize).
After that, the general public will be invited to vote on the remaining adventures. The winner will be awarded the Jury's Prize (second prize).
A name slip with every valid story submission will be tossed into a hat and a random winner will be drawn. This person will win the Writer’s Drawing (third prize).
The name of everyone who voted on the Jury's Prize will be tossed into a hat and a winner will be selected as the random winner of the Voter’s Drawing (limit one entry per person).
Limit one major prize per person (if you win the Judge’s Prize, you are not eligible to win any of the lesser prizes, and so on).
Please read the full rules posted here at the Hawgleg Website, and pay particular attention to the Submission Guidelines (see below).
