Winners of the Valkyria Chronicles ad contest photo

At first, I wasn't really sure what to expect from the Valkyria Chronicles ad contest. I checked the post the night before flying out to Los Angeles for E3 09 and was blown away by some of the entries. Needless to say, it was silly of me to doubt the amount of win you all have.

The first place prize of the Valkyria Chronicles figurine and art book goes to to Kalafax who made this amazing two page spread. One page has info on the game and the other is a printable Valkyria Chronicles paper figure that you can actually make!

Second place prize of the figurine and art book goes to Jlanphear for his ad. Third, fourth and fifth place prizes of the art books go out to Merrymac (ad), Yagaminoue (ad) and Celedin (video ad which can be seen after the break.) Winners: check for an e-mail from me later today based on the e-mail address we have on file for you. 

Honoroble mentions go out to Happymeowmeow for his hilarious idea (which would have won the grand prize had it been fully fleshed out) and Justice. Thanks to everyone that entered!

Be sure to check out the rest of our ongoing contests for more chances at winning free stuff!

Fuck. Should have entered. I'd have had an half decent chance, based on these entries.

With all due respect of course.

Congrats people.

Who ever did that pic with the Flower should have won. I like good artwork ads not something telling me HOW AMAZING THE GRAPHICS AND GAMEPLAY ARE. The ad should make me interested without giving away key moments and randoms shots of gameplay

Awesome jobs! Probably the biggest disappointment of E3 was the lack of Valkyria Chronicles announcements.

The ad with the flower should have won.

I have not played the game and honestly my next game purchase is either going to be Valk Chronicles or Prototype. The ad with the flower actually makes me want to seek out more information about the game. The other ads just blend into the background noise of the internet.

I think that Celedin should have gotten first place, cause that video was nice.

@ milestailsprowe

Agreed. I thought that -was- the winning ad what with being featured on top, and it should have been. I love all of them, but that one really stands out as a "holy shit, that is an -awesome- ad."

I would have arranged maybe a sidebar explaining the game's details on the next page, if anything, but it's great as is.

The winning entry isn't bad but the flower ad is just amazing, really amazing, I think that kinda ad would speak more than just something showing graphics and stuff.

And I truly hope you're joking about meow's entry because if he had fleshed and it had won the grand prize, well that would have been really, REALLY stupid, then again this is the same site where some retard teabagging a statue while holding the Mirror's edge symbol won by a massive landslide so who knows...

I'm very happy! thanks to the Destructoid team and everyone, I think that the objective of this contest is to promote the game and I have faith that we have done here, but we can do more, like sharing all the works displayed on various websites and increase the interest for the game! ^_^
