Multi-Site Customizing Contest
Yakface is proud to announce a tribute to a friend of the community who passed away last summer – a multi-site customizing contest that was in the works by a collector know around the forums as MercuryArtStudios. We were shocked and saddened last summer when he tragically lost his life in a car accident.
Mike Martinez left behind a great following in the customizing community and touched a lot of people. In his memory, we wanted to see through an Evolution style themed customizing contest that he had been planning – so we have teamed up with two other sites to make this happen. We are proud to have teamed up with Echo Base News and Imperial Shipyards to host this customizing event.
To help encourage particpation, we’ve also gathered a great pool of prizes – for more information and rules of entry, click here!
