Tomb Raider teams up with deviantART for a 15th Anniversary contest

Crystal Dynamics is throwing a contest sponsored by Gamestop, Microsoft, and deviantART which invites fans of Tomb Raider to submit interpretations of the new Lara Croft by March 5th, 2013. The grand prize winner will receive $6,000, a Tomb Raider limited edition Xbox 360, and a print of their artwork sold in the official Tomb Raider store opening this Match – not too shabby.

This contest celebrates their 15th Anniversary of Tomb Raider. Since deviantART is such a powerful international talent pool community, Crystal Dynamics decided to go with them. On this, Karl Stewart, global brand director for Tomb Raider commented:

“Over the past fifteen years TOMB RAIDER and Lara Croft have garnered a passionate and talented fan base from around the world. As such, many have naturally flocked to deviantART as a portal to showcase their creativity. Partnering with deviantART was a perfect fit to challenge and inspire our established followers, while engaging the artistic efforts of the greater deviantART community.”
