3. Selection of Winners

Potential winners will be selected on or about April 5, 2016, from all eligible and qualified entries.

  • (I) Success in creating an illustration consistent with the requested elements;
  • (II) Overall Impact of the Work;
  • (III) Technical skill; and
  • (IV) Appropriateness for use in advertising of the Game.
  • The 25 semi-finalists will be posted in advance of final judging. Only one entry per Entrant may be chosen as a semi-finalist entry. The prize winning Works, using the same criteria and methodology, will be selected by Deep Silver’s Product Marketing Manager, Ryan Avery, its Global Brand Manager, Huw Beynon and its Senior Art Director, Philipp Foly. The judges’ decisions are final on all matters relating to the Contest. The judges may apply each of the criteria listed above in whatever degree of emphasis he or she chooses but each panel of judges must reach consensus on the finalists, in the case of selecting the semi-finalists, and on the three placed winners as applicable to that panel. In the event of a tie in any portion of the judging process, the judges themselves will resolve the tie to the appropriate number of semi-finalists or ranked winners as applicable.
