A lid for your head is more than just to keep the rain off, or deflect the occasional Zombie attack – it’s about how you represent! Pocket Legends now has custom hats, a new feature of Version 1.3. The challenge to you is to design something your ‘toon would sport as you swing a sword, aim a crossbow or conjure up a fireball.

Here is how it works:
We have a list of Legendary Hat names (see below). Pick one that you think rocks, make a design for it and post to the message forum submission thread. Submissions can be entered from now, Tuesday, August 17th through Wednesday, August 25th at Midnight (Central). Then, the Pocket Legends Dev Team will pick their top three favorites for a public vote here on the forums. Those top three will compete to win the following:

Grand Prize
Spacetime Studios will create an actual in game hat item based on your design. You’ll also receive the coveted “Shield of Legends” along with 20 Platinum.

2nd Place Prize:
10 Platinum and the choice of any Hat from the Store.

3rd Place Prize:
Pick any Hat you’d like from the Store.

Here is the list legendary hats to kick start your creativity! Pick one and get cracking on your design!


Conqueror's Ursan Helmet
Jewel Thief's Penguin Snowcap
Dreamer's Ice Mage Snowcap
Sniper's Dead-Eye Derby
Dreamer's Witch Toad Tiara

So we pick one of those hats and then we just make a design for it? Can we come up with our own hat and name?

FluffNStuff
08-17-2010, 01:25 PM
Are there any complexity issues? I am assuming the hat can not move except for perhaps an effect coming off it such as the music notes or snowflakes. Also, is it only on the head, or could it cover part of the face?

Justg
08-17-2010, 01:34 PM
Pick one of those hats please. And yes no moving parts please. We can have particles coming off it like the headphones and santa hats.

FluffNStuff

What about covering part of the face, for example if it had sunglasses attached?

Chickdigcookies

do we use the existing hat we choose as our starting point? like, do we build into it?

Cool !! I'll Do It ! This Looks Awesome !! Thanks To Devs .. ;)

Yes on parts of the face being covered (like sunglasses). No on using existing hats as a starting point... sky is the limit here!

still not 18.. I'm going to have to wait a while.

Furrawn
08-17-2010, 01:56 PM
And we can only do a design for ONE hat, correct? I'm just checking- this will be my first PL design competition:)

The sky's the limit? Anything we can possibly imagine? Omg. This is going to be great! Even the submissions from everyone will be wicked fun to see...

Justg
08-17-2010, 02:06 PM
Correct, pick ONE hat to design from the list. You can always update or replace your entry.

Rnrking
08-17-2010, 02:19 PM
i get that you have to be 18 for legal reasons but its still a real bummer cuz i had a AWSOME idea for a helmet. Oh well i guess the pocket legends community is going to miss out. Is there any way or chance you could change the entry age?

Cascade
08-17-2010, 02:25 PM
Why does the entry age have to be 18? That's restricting me from winning...So not fair.

Warchanter
08-17-2010, 02:46 PM
On this thread you have the 25th listed as the deadline and on the submission thread you have the 22nd.....Please clarify...

FluffNStuff
08-17-2010, 02:50 PM

If you are under 18, you can not legally consent to them using your original work in a profitable way which could turn into a nightmare for their lawyers ;)

aww, i made one...but i used a starting point, doh.

08-17-2010, 03:07 PM
May we choose to hold a specific hat design. I won't be able to work on it today, and I'm afraid on the same design being used.

Cascade
08-17-2010, 03:10 PM
I am really REALLY mad that I can't enter so stinking retarded.

Rebel
08-17-2010, 03:14 PM
Your parents can enter for you if you are under 18. That's what I did for the last contest. I don't have to worry about it anymore. Turned 18 not too long ago.

Cascade
08-17-2010, 03:24 PM
Ok sweet thanks reb :)...Also can maybe you despots pics of what all those helmets looks like?

Samhayne
08-17-2010, 03:46 PM

Good catch on the bullets - the deadline is Midnight (central time) on the 25th.

WTF? So have my mom draw the picture? LMAO

Also, do we draw the character along with the hat?

Cascade
08-17-2010, 05:31 PM
The devs should have changed it up a bit and done a dif kind of contest one that doesn't have art in it lol I fail at drawing :/

IDK, I mean do want to win a PL shield, especially the honest way, but I don't draw too well, and the last contest, the type a PL review thing wasn't to my knowledge as far as there being a PL contest, not to mention a lot of people didn't have availability to HD cameras and that software Haroldiv had.

No, read it, it says to enter it in the entry forum....

jonboy
08-17-2010, 07:03 PM
Am I right in thinking that there is an age restriction? Generally people under 18 can't legally enter a contract, without written consent from the legal guardian.

If that is the case, as it is in Australia, then it should be plainly written also is the contest open to people outside of the US?

Justg
08-17-2010, 09:19 PM
Don't worry about the quality of the art, the concept is what we are looking for here. There is an age restriction but people have gotten around this by having their parents enter for them. The contest is open to everyone all over the globe. There are already some wonderful and hilarious entries, so get in there (http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?5833-Submit-your-Design-Here-for-Design-a-Hat-Contest!)and make some history!

jonboy
08-17-2010, 09:45 PM
Oh can we enter more then one design?

Edit: never mind, I need to L2R

Rnrking

can someone explain to me how we have our parents enter the contest for us. i mean do we have to make a forum account for them or what do we do?

when we make a parent a account do we have the email our email or do we have it their email? wasnt sure with the prize granting what the email should be.

Hey Rnrking,

Use your parent's email on their account. If you make it through to be a finalist, we'll contact your parent via their e-mail and will then sort out which Pocket Legends account to grant the prize.

It's simple: enter the contest with your drawing, and if you are the finalists, the devs have to email your Parent's email address since you are below 18. And if you win, you win ;).

1) Have one of your parents create a spacetimestudios.com forum account using their email. Name the account Mysticsmom. Make sure it is really your mom incase they need to verify somehow.

2) Under your mom's account post your picture of the hat design in the Submit Your Hat Design thread.

3) If you win, STS will contact your mom via her E-mail and will sort out what account to award the prize to.

Does that help?

Yeah, have your parents create an account with their e-mail. They then post your entry. The account that posts need to be someone of age that can legally agree to the submission agreement. Then, if you're a finalist, we'll e-mail your parents telling them that the entry won. They'll tell us your account to grant the prize to and we're all good.

Clear as mud? I thought so :)

Feel free to send me a Private Message if you have further questions, or post a reply here.

It would be cool if the spacetime would say from time to time which are the current finalists. So we would know if we have to do more on our helmets.

The team's certainly are looking at them, but we won't make cuts for the 3 finalist until submissions are closed.

found this in the art submission thread..

I can't draw very well but the sniper deadeye derby should be a het that covors your face with a skull with one eye that looks like a + in it so it would look like a sniper :)

DAMMIT MY FREAKIN IDEA!!!!

only difference was i was accualy gonna bother to draw mine and have + in both eyes... plus the developers just added the red bone masks aswell so i donno if its a good idea anymore....

do u guys still recon i should bother drawing it or will i get get heaps off people saying i stole his idea?

sigh... maybe ill just draw up a design for mynas helm of thoth...

Klemen
08-20-2010, 03:58 PM
so can we have some moving particles of the helmet or no? I dont mean the snowflakes or something.

Cascade
08-20-2010, 04:28 PM
Question-Can we have a cape attached to the hat?..Can wehave shoulder pads attached to the hat?
