Forum Comp #8 - The Fabulous Destinations of Lara Croft [ended]

[Driber]

For Portuguese, click here!

It's competition time again!

With the summer holidays here, we thought it would be fun idea if we can all come together and make a collective photo collage of Lara travelling the world, a la Amélie:

(Brilliant film, BTW. Must see!!!)

So get out your Lara figurines/statues/etc, take them with you on holiday and let's make this happen!

Not going on holiday this summer? No sweat - your photo does not necessarily need to include a recognizable landmark. You can take a photo at the beach, in your backyard, etc. The minimum conditions are that it must be an actual photo with Lara in the shot (no Photoshopping!) and done outdoors.

Don't have any Lara figurines or other merchandise you can use? Then get creative and make your own out of paper (Flat Stanley!), cardboard, etc. Here is an example Word document you can print out: lara_print_out.zip

When the comp has ended, I will collect all submitted images to turn them into a slideshow. Hey, I've got the hang of it now

Lastly, we're going to run this comp for 2 months again, to give everyone plenty of time to come up with something good

This prize goes to the best entry as voted by an official jury.

Prize #2: Crossroads Litho

[Driber]

hehe, glad you like my little idea, hiropon056. A "hell yeah" is a good start for this comp

Looking forward to seeing your entry/entries!

I think I may just participate in this one, as well

[Driber]

Oops, I had a little oversight in the OP. I copy&pasted a paragraph from the previous comp and forgot to adjust it for this one. I've edited it.

It said: "The usual obligatory jury FYI: The official jury will consist of Eidos Forum staff members and/or Square Enix employees and/or forum members. The (forum) names of the jury members and their votes will be publicly available once the winners have been announced."

I took out the red part, as that it no longer applicable in this comp (we had 1 regular member voting as an official judge in the previous one; comp co-host Rian)

[Coralie]

Hey great idea !
I don't know yet if I will participate but I already feel like seeing entries
Good luck everyone !

Nothing special. Just an ordinary sunrise at my home. I though I would first post a picture from my home because our home is always the place where a journey starts, right? So let's see where our journey will bring us... me and Lara

No! My holiday has just ended, and now it's back to study...
