Re: PAX Prime Map Making Competition Rules
There is no way that I will be able to attend PAX, so on the very small chance that I were to wind the grand prize, I could not accept the full prize. Is there any obligation to attend?

Re: PAX Prime Map Making Competition Rules
When it mentions that "no special characters in the map name" may be used, does that apply for characters/letters that are colored? I would like this confirmed since this could be easily misunderstood and someone with a great map could be disqualified because of the colored characters/letters in the title of their map. Thanks

Re: PAX Prime Map Making Competition Rules
Colors should be fine, as long as it's easily readable. (black letters aren't really visible, for example.)
Special caracters may be something like @, #, and so on.![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)

Re: PAX Prime Map Making Competition Rules
Hello!
@slugish, There is no obligation to attend PAX if you were to win the competition.
@snowboardmaniac, indeed, you can color letters as long as they are visible. PapyChampy is right. Only no Special characters.
@all, we would have loved to do this worldwide, but per legal reasons, each country having their own legal rules towards such competition with prizes, we had to restrict the eligibility.
Thanks!
Xhane

Re: PAX Prime Map Making Competition Rules
Thanks for the confirmation! Just making sure something minuscule such as that doesn't void the entry.
