Third Eye Games (http://www.thirdeyegames.net) is throwing our first writing contest for new and interesting races to add to the world of
Apocalypse Prevention, Inc. This contest comes on the heels of our recently released sourcebook,
API Worldwide: Canada, and in preparation for the upcoming
Demon Codex: Lochs race sourcebook.

- Both Legal and Illegal races are acceptable and there is no required theme for this contest
- Word Count: 1200 to 2000 words in length
- Entries will be judged for both narrative content (how well they fit into the setting) and rules balance
- Submissions to eloy@thirdeyegames.net
Deadline:March 20th, 2009
Winners Receive:
- 1st Place – Print copy of either API Worldwide: Canada or Demon Codex: Lochs (upon release)

This thread is closed and this contest will not proceed here at the Forge.
Here, creator ownership does not mean "intellectual property." It means creative and financial authority regarding how work is published. The terms of this contest transfer that authority from the creator to a publisher. It is effectively work-for-hire.
As a side note, in my experience of publishing RPGs, everyone who contributes work to a book (artist, layout) gets a copy of it as a matter of course.
Best, Ron
