Adena Art Contest Rules

Registration:

All participants must register their character name and design concept prior to creating their piece. This is to insure that only the creator of the piece can claim credit for it once it is complete. Any submissions that do not correspond to the details given in the registration will be disqualified. Only one submission per category, per person will be accepted. All participants must be current Lineage II™ subscribers.

Categories:

Original/Artistic
This piece will reflect the most effort, imagination, and detail. It can be anything.

Clever/Humorous
This has to genuinely make us laugh – but remember to keep it clean. It can be something totally off the wall.

Lineage II Related
If you think you can capture the essence of Lineage II with an image made out of adena, go for it.
