Are you a fantastic artist looking to show off your talent to the world? Do you love the original Terminator film as much as we do? Do you want to win some cash? Well then, good news!

- Guest Judge Pick: Three (3) Guest Judges picks will receive Three Hundred Dollars ($300.00) cash!

- Submissions accepted until September 15th, 2015 at 12:59pm PST
- All entries must be within the original 1984 Terminator universe. The T-1000 Terminator model and mention of Skynet are not allowed. No actor likenesses of actor Arnold Schwarzenegger will not be accepted into this contest. Also be conscious to only include Sarah Conner references from this time frame as well. Any muscularly toned versions will not be permitted as it does not fit within the character model within the original 1984 film.

Before submitting any designs, you should know that there are a few DOs and DON’Ts that will be strictly enforced”
- Do: Make something original. Research to make sure your idea isn’t already out there.
- Do: Make stylized art! Get inspiration from the original 1984 Terminator film, T-800 and any character that resides within the original film!
- Do: Use logos or icons that can be found in the The Terminator movie. Please, however, do note that if it’s a fairly simple or generic logo, make sure that we do not already have it on the website.
- Do: Have fun and be creative!
- Don’t: Use any actor likeness of Arnold Schwarzenegger. This includes Arnold’s face as half an endoskeleton. When creating your design imagine it’s a part of or within the original Terminator film universe.
- Don’t: Submit similar versions of the same design. Sometimes people submit the same design, but with small changes. This will only divide your votes and hurt your chances of winning rather than help it.
- Don’t: Use any copyrighted, 3rd party or inappropriate materials. This contest is to submit art designs to be officially licensed. If it is too obscene or mixes 3rd party, or copyrighted materials, it will NOT be approved.
- Don’t: Include any materials that were not included in the original 1984 Terminator film. This is strictly within the first film’s universe.
Remember, you have until September 15th, 2015 at 12:59pm PST to submit up to 10 of your best designs. WeLoveFine and the crew here at Social Underground can’t wait to see what you come up with. Show us what you’re made of and bleed your ideas and designs onto the page.
