Thanks for sharing. always nice to see more competitions.

Yes I am. I do 2D spritesheets and 3D game models, textures sometimes. In the morning Ill be done prepping to put out a pretty great 3D pack.

Id love to participate sometime. Also, is the site based in the middle east or is everything (most) just middle east themed for a specific reason?

Well im definitely not based anywhere near the middle east, but sure that doesnt really matter unless you guys are actually strict to a local area rather than world wide, I wouldnt really imagine that really being much of a thing though.

Ill join the fun some time soon and see if I can drag a few others along with me. thanks for sharing once again. 

Was going to submit something, but definetly under the terms of : 

• By uploading still artwork(s) and video link(s) via the online entry form, the contestant grants META a perpetual, non-exclusive and payment-free licence globally to: 1. reproduce, use and exploit the intellectual property, to the full extent permitted by intellectual property law in any jurisdiction in which the YouTube or Vimeo channel is available to users. 2. Reproduce, adapt, edit and publish the still image(s) and video(s) in any associated promotional material, posters, advertising, social media etc. including the META website and META sponsors' websites, without limitation.

Maybe sometime soon Ill make something willing to give up and submit, but I suggest you reevaluate and alter your sites terms. 

I was planning on releasing a 3D CGI Render ive been working on. but Im most likely going to make something else for submission. not that sure yet. and I do hope you take that into consideration, many people that dont read into it may consider it "White Collar thievery". I wouldnt go that far onto it as I see a lot of companies do this, but I do think the licensor shouldnt be stripped of his rights on his artwork.

I'd Personally let that be optional to the licensor. maybe a check box at the signup or at the submission page.
