Also not eligible. But those who are, get in there! There is no excuse for failing to draw something for the seppolotto. The prizes are definitely worth your effort here.
Arc: 379017: Outbroken See all your old friends in the Outbreak Tutorial sequel!
Arc: Coming Soon: The Incarnate Shadow Shard of Fire and Ice Mender Rednem needs you!
Massively.com opinion poll: Please Help Save CoH!
hahaha my friends linked me to this and were like "nooo don't share with your art friend you might have a chance of winning " im horrid at following directions :P
Can I make a drawing and have someone enter it for me, and then get the laptop? lol j/k
If it didn't require signing up for an account and all, I'd consider negotiating free art with that arrangement LJ ;D
I was just joking, I'm ineligible living in Canada. Not that I would win... ya'll have fun!
I posted something up but I had to chuckle a bit when I saw the other entries. Almost half of them aren't even possible to make in the the CC. One entry is a floating eyeball for grape's sake. 
I think one might be a photograph/manip rather than a "hand drawn" piece.
Oh well I suppose it's neither here nor there, good luck everyone who entered and Thankyou Deebs for... you know... not following directions. 
LOL... I entered but didn't even think about telling/not telling anyone. I figured Zam.com gets enough traffic that the odds aren't in my favor whether it's 1:40 or 1:80.
Supposedly, the frst couple days of drawings should be done but they have yet to post any winners for either of them so get yourself entered and maybe you'll get lucky. Zam.com has, in my limited experience, a bothersome time running contests by their own rules.

Limited experience says the man with 50 thousand posts.
Yeah, but I never enter the contests 
NV - assault with fine print is a crime where I come from!!
FD - Hey, wasn't me! I just said I saw familiar faces in who didn't tip us off, I'm not one of them!! (despite it being random and a stick figure scribble having a chance, I'm still too lazy to bother.)
LJ - in unity and support of you and airhead, I'm taking a stand and boycotting this contest until they let Canucks and other aliens enter!!! (that lazy thing was just a joke... Yeah, that's it!)
btw - wtheck is Zam.com? (I live such a sheltered o line life...)
has anyone sent in a picture and has not had it show up on the gallery?

Short version is just that it's a big MMORPG site. They never really did City of Heroes with any focus because CoH's format doesn't really play into the whole "How do I complete this quest?" and "What swords would be an upgrade for my paladin?" sort of thing.
By the way, they have an interview posted now that you can respond to for free jetpack codes.

Yeah, back when (the original) Allakhazam sold the site to some other group, they changed it over to Zam.com.
WoW? Wicked oiled Weasels?? I thought only total degenerates participated in that kind of thing????

I'm curious about this myself. When I go to submit something in the upload box, it only takes me to a blank page with no confirmation or anything of my submission. Any clues as to what the proper steps are?

The Guide to BURN
Yeah I do.
Step#1... don't enter so I can haz bettah oddz of winneh teh stuffz...
errr I mean...
You will first need to have to create a ZAM account and sign in or the steps below will not work... so go do that here n' stuff.
Then goto the contest page here.
Hit the red enter now button
from the window that opens click the upload (think that's what it was called)button
then click browse and locate the picture you want to enter on your pc.
Click ok/upload
The new screen you go to will have slide rulers for you to adjust the size of your pic
the top window is the adjustable one that actually contains your image and the bottom window is the preview frame so you can see your changes.
You will need to stretch, shrink or adjust your pic fit inside the border of the green frame.
When it looks correct in the bottom frame give it a title and add any notes you want up top, hit next/yes/accept or whatever the affirmative button is called.
When it comes back to the contest page hit enter now again and you will see a miniature thumbnail of the pic you uploaded in the small window that opens
Fill in your name email etc... hit the submit button.
When you go back to the gallery the pic will not be there as the server takes about 3-5 minutes to update.
Wait a few minutes then hit f5 on your keyboard to tell the server to send you the most recent updated page and your pic will now be in the gallery.
Good luck to you all.
I see what the problem is. You have to make an account *before* you try to submit the picture. If you don't, the picture won't upload and it takes you to a blank screen instead. Worse yet, if you submit your entry in like that, it'll lock you out from your email address with an incorrect entry, so you'll have to use an entirely different address for the next one.
Whomever designed that site really needs lessons on user interface. :<

Oh right that makes sense. I already had an account which I used to post in the thread about the contest and thought you guys had one already as well. I just thought there was a problem with the submission part of it... that part isn't very straightforward either.
Added a note to the instructions above.
