Contest Summary: Submit a title and a short description for an adventure suitable for use with Gutshot.
For the duration of the contest, we will select 12 entries, prepare them for publication, and release each one as a PDF for free download at our Website. That person will receive a free "La Vaquera" miniature. At the conclusion of the contest, the owners of Hawgleg Publishing will select the best adventure and award that author the Grand Prize. The general public will vote on the remaining selected adventures 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. Each author and adventure is only eligible for one prize.
