THUNDERHEAD GAMES PRESENTS
Writers / Artists Audition Contest #1
Due to the large number of submissions of both writers and artists trying to break into the Thunderhead Games family, we have decided to let the writing, or artwork as the case may be, speak for itself. The prizes? Well, we will give away product, of course. But that is not why people are knocking at our door. The two grand prizes, one for writing and one for art, is a contract to complete a 32 page adventure for Bluffside: City on the Edge. The two winners will work together, along with our Team TG, to complete an adventure that will be made available for sale via .pdf on our site. Based on the outcome of that adventure, we will evaluate the writer/artist for future, print products. The contest rules are described below.
