That's right! Our first contest is online. We want you to create some cool backgrounds for everyone's desktops, and in return we may grant you a SIGNED UFO:AFTERMATH T-SHIRT. Read more here!

Nice Contest - BAD LUCK I am really poor in making Graphics ...
 But it is never late to learn something - SO I will make some strange design  at least for my pleasure ... One more thing I talked to a seller in Prague - CENEGA shop and he told me that in Czech they are going to receive UFO next week . I also got a poster with a box for storing the GAME BOXES in shops - I was so begging that he HAD TO GAVE IT TO ME TO GET RID OF ME :angel: .

Well, a signed T-Shirt is much more unique than a game. Everyone can buy a game, not everyone can get hold of a signed T-Shirt...

Well If I am to tell the truth : signed t-shit is a nice touch but I wouldn`t care much about it. signed or not signed - doesn`t make me any difference. But I am afraid if the t-shirt will suite me ... what size is it? Well guess i will find out in 1-2 days

Bah, you guys are all bumming this contest out! It's still COOL! It may not be worth any money, but it would still be cool to have one signed by those who made this great game.
I will make you all a deal. Win this contest for me *I am an artistic retard* and give ME the shirt? Sound good? |

Well if nobody else wants to play, then I may have a bash (just for fun mind) as I make a fairly good website (when they're done and finished) and I've made a few wallpapers before for X-COM games...
It'd also be a nice unique thing to have on the site I reckon Expect a general fan art section sometime in the future (if Slaughter hasn;t erected one behind my back by the time I finish typing - sneaky devil ).On the subject of what makes the t-shirt worth it - if UFO Aftermath suddenly gets infinitely more coverage after release and the whole world knows about it (like X-COM pretty much has over the years) a signed t-shirt will become more rare than it already is to us UFO-pre-release-fans Aside from that, if it's not your size, I recently saw a "Popper" plastic model from teh game "X-COM Apocalypse" sell on Ebay for £25. Since it's about three inches long and made of plastic, and probably cost about £1 to produce and was not massively unique (can;t rememebr exactly how many there were, but hundreds) then imagine how much a signed t-shirt will be worth? You know this competition makes sense eve if you're only in it for the money

A signed box would be much more appealing.
They better be large sized shirts; I'm tired of wearing small ones. I'll forgo the 3D art this time and see if I can come up with something with my pens. Eh, I only know UFO concepts. -------------------- |

Well, I didn't get any games, so you'll have to live with T-Shirts. End of story.

Perhaps you could spraypaint little squares on the back as a chessboard and then you'd have a "Signed, Game T-Shirt"
