Community Costume Design Contest
It's contest time! The ArcheAge team would love to see your concepts and put them into ArcheAge and ArcheAge: Unchained. We would like you to design a costume concept under the theme of the "Akasch"! While their specific appearance isn't well known, you've certainly seen their evil, powerthirsty influence in places like the Ipnysh Sanctuary. These towering ancient beings had tails and preferred Geometric structures in their architecture, but other than being roughly 3 times the size of your average adventurer there isn't much more that we've learned about them.
However, beginning September 4th the team wants to see your interpretations and creations of this theme in the form of a Costume!

[h2] What do I have to do?[/h2]
Design a costume under the theme of the "Akasch", it can be to look similar to them or channel the power of them. Either way, your costume has to look awesome for a chance to win. Our preferred medium is through drawings but it is your choice whether it's on paper or digital art. A front and back of the costume is preferred, other angles certainly are a bonus! Once your costume concept is designed, submit your design idea here! The team will review each drawing and select winners.

[h2]What can I win? [/h2]
There is a little something for everyone. The first prize winner of this contest will have their Costume put into ArcheAge with their name on it and 10000 Credits! As the winner, you'll receive your costume on a character of your choice on ArcheAge or ArcheAge: Unchained once it's been created. Our second-place winner will receive 5000 Credits, third place will receive 1500 Credits, and all other entrants will receive an Admin's Candy as a thank you for participating.

[h2] What are the Rules? [/h2]
- All costumes designs must be of the theme of the 'Akasch' and have a front and back view of the concept.
- All entries must be a digital drawing or drawing on paper of the costume design
- All entries must be posted to the forum thread here during the event period of September 4th and September 23rd 11:59 UTC.
- You can enter as many times as you like, but you can only receive one reward.
- Please follow our Code of Conduct and Terms of Service (no nudity, racism, etc.)

[h2] Anything else to note? [/h2]
The winning costume design will be created by XLGames and will make it's way into the ArcheAge. However, this process is not instant, the winner will receive the item once it is fully created and be credited for the design in the description. The winner will receive this costume for free, but it may be available via purchase for other players (even in other versions) in the future.
Update: The team was asked if there is a way two names get added to the winner's costume description if, as an example, one person was providing the idea and the other one is designing it.
The answer is yes, BUT only a team of 2 will be accepted. They will have to provide a name for their team/duo, which will be used for the description, should they win.
Should a duo be selected as a winner, both members will receive the full rewards.
