Revolution! Sometimes it’s
about politics, like the American Revolution or the Cuban Revolution.
Sometimes it’s about economics, like the Industrial Revolution or
the Agricultural Revolution. Sometimes it’s about gaming, like Sid Meier’s Civilization® Revolution™, bringing the epic, addictive gameplay
of the Civilization franchise to console and handheld game systems
on July 8. And sometimes…it’s about t-shirts.
Shirt.Woot is teaming up with
2K Games, publishers of Sid Meier’s
Civilization Revolution, to sponsor Derby #42, opening for entries
next Friday, May 9. The theme is “Join the Revolution.”
We’re giving you an extra week to think about this one – after all,
revolutions aren’t made in a day. And thanks to 2K, the prizes are
like nothing we’ve ever offered before:
- GRAND PRIZE ($2000
+ ongoing commission)
360 Elite
1 year xbox live
Copy of the game for 360 (when game releases, might be shipped later
to winner)
360 Civilization Revolution faceplate
Signed poster from team
- SECOND PRIZE ($1500
+ ongoing commission)
360 faceplate
Copy of game
Signed poster
- THIRD PRIZE ($1000
+ ongoing commission)
Copy of game
Signed poster
Now, keep in mind that we
are not looking for Civilization t-shirts. Consider this
the same as any other Derby, in terms of restrictions on using other
people’s work. We want shirt designs that work well without any specific
association with the game, and without
Civ logos, artwork, etc. Got that?
Otherwise, we expect something
pretty awesome out of you guys. You’ve got an extra week to put your
design together and thousands of years of source material to draw from.
As intense
Civ fans ourselves, we couldn’t be more thrilled
to join forces with the people behind the game that we’ve spent so
many hours playing. Make us proud, yo!
Civilization hangs in
the balance.
