Win a $300 Grand Prize from Slayer Design Studio (Tri-gate)!

The first Big Slayer Design Studio/CFW contest...Triple Play (http://www.customfigurewars.com/content/slayer-design-studio-and-cfw-contest)
This one is a really easy. It's the first contest with a "plan B" so if you do not win, there is a plan B. GET IT!?

** INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMIZERS ARE WELCOME TO ENTER **


Here's how it works... You make a custom, get a friend to make a custom, and get another friend (or friends friend) to make a custom. Its called the Triple Play. The idea is to get as many people involved as we can. Each Members custom counts as their own entry, and each submission will be judged on its own. In order to benefit from the "Triple Play" you just have to post all 3 members entry pics & board names in with the same title so that we know they are being entered as a team. If you do this and one of your team members wins, you will also win a prize (to be announced)! IT IS NOT MANDATORY TO ENTER WITH ANYONE. You may enter the contest on your own to win, and as many entries as you want.

The rules:

1. You make anything you want out of any scale figure you want. It can be a Joe, Starwars, transformer, smurf, 1/6th scale, what ever you want to use will be accepted, it just needs to be customized.

2. To qualify for the Triple Play you must all 3 post your customs with the same title.

3. Customizers must be members of CustomFigureWars.com (http://www.customfigurewars.com/user/register)to enter (If you do not recieve an immediate e-mail conformation after you register, please check your SPAM box/Bulk mail).

4. You have to make a brand new custom that has not been previously posted on the forums, or any forum for that matter. If you wish to post your custom after you enter the contest you must describe the custom as a contest entry for CustomFigureWars and insert a link back to your entry on CFW.

5. The customs will be judged by Kenny and Me.

6. Only Kenny and myself will not be able to win prizes.

Ends November 16th, midnight.

The prize's.....

1st place - 300.00 shopping spree at Slayer Design Studio
2nd place - 150.00 shopping spree at Slayer Design Studio
3rd place - 75.00 shopping spree at Slayer Design Studio

http://i873.photobucket.com/albums/ab295/cfw23811/CFWSDSfinalcutlogo2.jpg

Everybody who enters gets a $10.00 gift code for Slayer Design Studio (Tri-Gate). Everyone wins nobody walks away empty handed.

Please feel free to ask question in this thread, i will do my best to answer them.

Maybe I'm just misreading, but the first part says enter with three people, but at the bottom is says you can enter alone.

[kjl2381]

That is correct. If you enter with three people you qualify for the "triple play". It's like a wild card incase your custom doesn't win. If your custom doesn't win but your buddy that you entered the contest with does, you get a prize. You can also enter the contest by yourself for a shot at the $300 prize, but you will not qualify for the triple play, so there is no security blanket if you do not place in the contest.

[RATFINK]

its going to be epic

3. Customizers must be members of CFW to enter.

Yea... Sorry about that.

[Dravenheart]

This looks awesome. I may actually give it a shot. I'd enter with someone, but I'd hate to shame them by having to share a partnership with me. I have a couple of ideas and if I can get the parts, I may very well throw my name in the hat. Seems quite worth the effort.

[kjl2381]

So you have to be a member at CFW, how long does it take for member applicants to be processed there?couple of days or something?

[kjl2381]

Processing is immediate, shouldn't take more than 5 minutes to create an account. If your not recieving the conformation e-mail, check your SPAM box, sometimes our outomated e-mail is re-directed to the SPAM or "Bulk mail" box. If your having any more trouble, let me know.

[screamers_ghost]

I'm having trouble joining at CFW not getting any e-mails at all ??

Not getting a Registration E-mail?

It seems to be happening to a select few. For some reason, if you have a "specialized" (payed e-mail service) or non-generic e-mail (anything that is not yahoo, google, hotmail, etc...) the system is either not sending a registration e-mail to you, or your e-mail provider is blocking it as SPAM all together. So if you register at CFW, and within 10 minutes you do not recieve an e-mail (please remember to check SPAM & Bulk boxes) please PM me here on Hisstank, or e-mail me at kenny@customfigurewars.com (kenny@customfigurewars.com).

[kjl2381]

32 days left in the contest.

Remember, all it takes to be eligible for the $300.00 prize is:

1 customizer and 1 custom entry. The "triple play" is just extra, not mandatory.

Does there have to be a theme to the team? I don't recall reading that anywhere...

I certainly can submit my 'noks...most are just needing finishing touches, a couple are in just the beginning stages...

[kjl2381]

No there does not. All three figures can be from different universes, brands, themes whatever. They do not have to be the same scale either.

did anyone win that $300

No there doesn't have to be a theme but I thought it would be a great idea if we did. That way it'll tie all of our customs together. Get it. the three of us form a theme to custom create a team. I like it. What do you think?

[Dravenheart]

Lot of awesome entries so far. Gotta only get better. If anyone's looking for a third member just to fill the gap, feel free to drop me a line. I got a couple customs finished that I haven't gotten around to posting up yet. I can't promise you a winner, but if just need someone to fill the dead space, I'm willing to offer a figure up. Just let me know. Otherwise I'll just throw them in as solo entries.

22 days left! Getting closer guys, time to get in gear and get those $300.oo Slayer Bucks!!!

This looks like a really cool contest.
Question: How do you recommend we post our work? Just place it in this thread? start a new thread?

[Gunzlingr]

Why not? Gunslingr you in? :D

Sure. I have 3 ready now, and hope to have at least 1 more done in time, but at my current rate that is a big if.


BTW: 1 of them is a Dreadnok, so if you want that as a theme, I can work it there. Just send a PM when you are ready to post or whatever.

OK - we may as well have 3 Dreadnoks as one, eh? I am hoping to get some stuff actually 100% finished on Friday night.

I have never posted a custom at CFWs...so not sure how that all goes. I have been a member for a while to check out others work...but never posted my own.
