Heyaa!
Welcome to the first edition of the revived Limit Theory Fan Contest! I'll start by giving a little history.
A year and a half ago, a man going by the name of Katorone started up the first Limit Theory Fan Contest, which grew to be a rather incredible thing! A great many people took part and began honing their skills in anticipation of being a prizewinner. After a month, when everyone had enough time to turn in their submissions, a panel of judges would judge the entries. Others would offer prizes - usually in the form of redeemable Steam and GoG codes.
Unfortunately, Katorone regrettably disappeared from the forums a little over a year ago. We all miss him terribly, and we've left the Limit Theory Fan Contest open in case he might return, but at this point it doesn't seem like he will. I am therefore taking up the reins myself, and we'll see what we can accomplish in his stead. I'd like to be able to judge the last contest, and if we can get ahold of the judges from the first one, we'll do so. I'm going to end up as a judge myself in Katorone's place; unfortunately, we probably won't be able to offer prizes for those.
Now that all that's out of the way, welcome to the fourth edition of the Limit Theory Fan Contest! This month's edition will be about Mining/Resource Gathering. There's quite a bit that can be done as far as this goes. Everyone can make as many admissions as they like, but only one can be the "official" admission by which you are judged.
This contest will have 3 prizes for the top three submissions, and each entrant can only win one prize (if indeed there are prizes).
The objective: Create art about Limit Theory.
This could be in written form as a story, lore, or a detailed idea for a mod. It could be visual like a gif, photoshop or video. Or even audio... Anyone up for a bit of stand-up about Limit Theory?
These are just a few ideas off the top of my head, but I'm sure you guys can think of a lot more. It is fine to use other games' assets in your submissions.
Rule of thumb: "Does it spotlight Limit Theory?".
Confirmed prizes:

The rules:
- The artwork needs to be about Limit Theory per the objective.
- Everybody is free to enter but can only submit one entry to the contest. You are free to change or replace your submission for as long as the contest is open.
- If you have submitted more than one work, you need to be very clear about which one you're entering. If there is any doubt, the latest entry in the forum thread will be judged.
- All contest submissions have to be made as a reply to this thread.
- Submitting a prize does not exclude you from having a submission scored.
- Judges are not barred from making a submission themselves, but their submissions can't be scored.
- The contest will be open to new submissions until Monday, February 29th, 23:59 GMT.
- Discussion about this contest or submissions can happen here.
- Any prizes are yours to do whatever you want with them. You can even give the prize to someone else if you'd like, and they don't have to be from this forum.
This only to avoid future googlers from becoming confused when looking for official content.

Our jury of three people will judge the submissions based on the following criteria:
- Originality: 30%
- Aesthetic: 25%
- Details: 10%
- X factor: 20%
