We’re proud to announce that Fall Guys, The Sims and Broken Sword are the featured games in this year’s\u00a0One Special Game art competition<\/a>, and entries are now open.<\/p>\n

The contest challenges amateur and professional artists to design a brand new poster based on one of three iconic video games. Full details on how to enter can be found on the\u00a0One Special Day website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The games featured in this year\u2019s competition are:<\/p>\n

FALL GUYS (Developed by\u00a0Mediatonic<\/a>)
\nTHE SIMS – (Developed by\u00a0Electronic Arts<\/a>)
\nBROKEN SWORD – (Developed by\u00a0Revolution Software<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Artists across the globe interested in entering the competition can submit their work on the official One Special Game website. Creatives have until One Special Day on Friday 1 October to submit entries and the winning design will be crowned poster of the year at the Develop conference on 26-28th October.<\/p>\n

The winner will receive a prize bundle including a brand new OLED Switch, an Adobe Stock Annual license, a \u00a3100 voucher for games clothing company Insert Coin, a game bundle from Perp Games and a professional portfolio review.
