The grand prize winners will receive a Phantasy Star Universe art book autographed by Takao Miyoshi! The second through fourth place winners in each contest will receive a rare Phantasy Star Universe figure.

A big thanks goes to everyone that participated and Sega of Europe for providing the prizes. You can share your thoughts in this forum thread (http://www.pso-world.com/forums/showthread.php?t=166058).

Well, that turns out well. Grats to all the winners.

[pinkace]

Yea the stick figures were mostly good, I think second place winner was better but the prize he got is better than a book, even an autographed one.

[Zarode]

Hah, funny that the ones I voted on are the ones that won. 8) Clearly I was the deciding factor here... *tch, yea...*

[Carma]

Yeah I won ! Thanks everyone :)
I'm glad GOTY won too since i voted for it.
I just have to wait the next contest now :D

[zandra117]

I find it funny that the topic of all of the stick figure comic winners had something to do with why this game is not doing so well.

[Imatron_]

Woooo!
Im glad GOTY got the tittle for first place, I think it really did the best job comppared to the others, but am I the only one who actually wanted the signed book? I dont know if theyd let us but I'd be happy to swap the prizes, though a cast figure would be nice, but I dont think I really get to choose XP.

[Carma]

Sorry but I really want the book. That's why I entered the contest to begin with (ok I like drawing things about PSU anyway...^^')
I'm not really into figures, I prefer artbooks and concept arts too.

[Imatron_]

Then Ill be happy with my figure, I think we just get what we get but I wonder if theyl let us choose what figure we get?
