Dragon Fan Art contest – win an amazing TERA Figurine!

Awaken your inner artist and win a TERA Figurine and a permanent flying dragon mount: the Dragon Fan art loading screen contest has arrived!

The destroyed entrance to the Harrowhold, an empire occupied by dragons, is open: It’s time for you to prove your skills against those new enemies! But this new content is also an occasion to remind everyone that there is an inner artist in each TERA player!

This Fan art (loading screen) contest will give both traditional and digital artists the opportunity to demonstrate their creativity and skills. We challenge you to create an original piece of art that depicts your vision of dragons in the world of Arborea. Whether it is a drawing, a painting or digital art... you are free to create any Dragon Artwork you like as long as it’s in a two-dimensional format (cf. detailed format bellow) and you personally created it.

We are really looking forward to your submissions, so get ready to show off your talents and check out the rules, prizes and information below.

Prizes:
The top 10 winners will be rewarded with one coupon of 10 euros.

The 2nd and 3rd place winners chosen by forum users will get in addition a permanent Dragon Skill: Mighty Dragon (choice between 3 colors: black, red and blue), and the chance to see their creation published as a loading screen in game with their character and server name on it!

Finally, if you’re selected as the Grand prize winner, you will win an official TERA Berserker FIGURINE in addition to all other prizes that have been mentioned already! (Note: Dragon Skill: Mighty Dragon - choice between 4 colors: black, red and blue and crystal clear!).
