Entry Rules and Requirements

1. Up to five separate entries per theme may be submitted.

2. Each art piece must be credited to a single artist.

3. Each Themed Art submission must meet the following requirements:

- All entries must be created entirely by hand using traditional physical mediums (such as paper or canvas). The use of digital tools, computer graphics, styluses, or AI-generated imagery is strictly prohibited. Any artwork utilizing technological aids will be ineligible for prizes.

- The phrase “Aim Games” prominently integrated into the artwork in English, sized for clear visibility. This may be a hand-rendered version of our standard logo or an original design incorporated into the composition.

- The specific name of the tournament for which the artwork is intended, also clearly integrated into the piece.

- The artist’s signature and date of the art piece. 

4. One high-quality photograph, taken straight on with all details clearly visible of each artwork entry must be submitted individually through our Art Contest Submission Form at the following link:

The Prizes

A total of $6,300 USD in Cash Prizes will be awarded!

A total of fifteen prize packages will be awarded. Rick Lemberg and Angela Lee will select the top five winning entries for each of the three tournament themes, as these artworks will be featured throughout the Aim Games tournaments. All submissions will be evaluated based on artistic merit, adherence to the theme and requirements, and overall creative excellence.

An artist may win in multiple themes, but is limited to one prize per theme. As such, each theme will always feature five distinct winners. However, a single artist may earn up to three cash prizes across the overall contest by placing in multiple categories. (For example, an individual artist could potentially win a maximum of $2,100.00 USD by securing first place in all three themes.) Artists may submit up to five separate entries into each of the three theme contests.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Artists of prize-winning entries will be required to ship the original artwork to Aim Games HQ prior to receiving their prize payments. In addition to the cash prizes, Aim Games will reimburse the shipping costs for all winning pieces.

All cash prizes will be paid via PayPal.
