Sonic the Hedgehog Contest Now Open - Get your MS Paint Out!
Sega, kind enough to give us here at The Rally 5 copies of Sonic the Hedgehog on Xbox Live Arcade for you. Here is how to get it! Take Sonic and put him in another Xbox 360 game. This can be a full title or arcade game. Scour here at the Rally for screenshots, or just do a Google image search, however you want to find the screens, do it (Note: If you find an image that is watermarked, points will not be taken off). Next, take a picture of Sonic and put him in the game screenshot you just got however you see fit, add rings for bonus points. I did quick entry of my own as an example using Sonic in Crackdown, I know you can do better:
Here goes all the official mumbo jumbo:
Image of Sonic on Image of some Xbox 360 Game (Full title or XBLA title) Post here in the comments with a link to your image or email myself (ocap1@hotmail.com) or JW (the4thamigo@gmail.com) directly with the image. Include with your comment or your email with your GamerTag. Enter as many images as you like, however you can only win one copy. Contest will end on Monday, September 3rd at 11:59pm EST, so you have two weeks to figure something out and get it to us.
Some Helpful Tips:
Judging will be based on humor, creativity, and overall quality of how well the image looks. If you really have no photoshop skills but have a funny as hell idea, send it anyways, you have just as much of a chance as anyone if it is creative/amusing. Captions are accepted and encouraged to help with the lulz. If you want something more than MS Paint, but can’t afford Photoshop (and have morals so don’t download illegal copies), I suggest using GIMP (available on Linux, MAC, and Windows). If you need to find a place to host your image, I suggest Imageshack, no need to sign up for anything and free. To start you out, here are some Sonic and ring images:
Good luck!
Reminder: Golden Axe Contest is still running and way easier to win than this Sonic one, either way, you can enter both! So click here and enter both contests!
