What is the coolest game contest

stayontarget

Every game  <insert game name> forum site has them.  Some kind of art or video contest that will give out swag and beta keys if your lucky.  Tell me some of the most silly contest you have seen and some of the best contest. 

 

Here's a cool one I did.  but I would not say it was the BEST,  but if your a "crafter and a lover of food" in mmo's, then you will understand

[Contest] Arun Chef: Recipe Battle

---

The harvest season has descended upon the lands of Arun and Shara. Deciduous trees have shed their leaves, spreading a blanket of copper and crimson. Daylight grows short and winter’s cold looms. The people of this world can be found in the fields and farmlands, stocking their storehouses with the year’s crops to sustain them through the harsh months to come. It is when the harvest ends that the recipe battle begins…



Welcome to November, TERA fans! We here at En Masse Entertainment are celebrating the season of plenty with our third contest in which we challenge you to create the most sumptuous and innovative (or at least appetizing and edible) recipes using a selection of potential "ingredients" (read: monsters) found in-game. Your true artistic creations must be geared toward one of TERA's six races, each with their own food preference. The entries will be judged by the members of our writing team who serve as "specialists" for each race.



Arun Chef: Recipe Battle



Using a combination of in-game ingredients and real-world cooking concepts, produce a recipe designed to fit the palette of one of TERA’s six races. The ingredients and food types (and linked pictures to match the unusual ones) include:



Red Meat

- Cromos: Lean, dark.

- Hyena: Tender, dark.

- Argass: Gamey, tender.
