Dark Souls Shield Design Contest

 Today NAMCO BANDAI announced the Dark Souls Shield Design Contest. It's open to anyone who goes to the official Dark Souls Facebook page and likes it.  The contest starts today on June 27th and ends on July 28th.  After liking the contest page all you have to do is download the three blank shield templates and start creating your own original design.  You are able to upload one entry for each of the three shield designs for the contest.

Make sure to submit your finished designs via Facebook on or before July 13th.  Fans are able to vote for their favorite and the voting will be open until July 20th.  The top ten designs for each of the three shield templates as voted for by the fans will be submitted to FromSoftware for the final decision for the winners.

The winners will be hand-picked by the Dark Souls development team at FromSoftware in Japan.  The three winning designs, one for each shield template will be added as DLC to be used in game!  Each of the ten winners will receive a copy of Dark Souls signed by game director Hidetaka Miyazaki.  The final three winners will have their designs added in game, and will receive a signed copy of the limited edition game plus their names in the game's credits.
