Contest announce: Put your horse race sponsor in the trailer

Hey Anno Community,

Have you always wanted to channel your inner Anno 117: Pax Romana entrepreneur and launch your own product line? This contest is your chance!

Design a logo and name for a product or brand inside the Anno 117: Pax Romana universe and win prizes! We offer you the best advertisement space in the entire empire: The famous Hippodrome!

That’s right, the winning sponsors will be featured in the final trailer for our second DLC in August.

Soooo… are you opening a wine company with the slogan “Less whining more wine-ing!” or are you releasing a new type of soap called “Dorian’s Favourite” and advertise it with “True Roman soap for true Romans”? It’s up to you!

How to participate

To participate you will need to follow these steps:

• Imagine your own brand or product within the Anno 117: Pax Romana universe and create:
  • a brand/product logo (at least 512×512 pixel) in PNG format
  • a brand/product name (max 27 characters)*
• Send it all via email to AnnoCommunityTeam@ubisoft.com using the subject “Community Contest: Hippodrome Sponsor”
• The deadline for entries is the 8^th of July, 10 PM UTC.

*name can be submitted in: English, French, Italian, German. We may translate them into English when featured in the trailer, however.

Find an example below – we’re sure you can do much better than that, however!

Rules

You can use any images, icons, artworks, etc. from the game in the creation, or create everything from scratch. You will need to edit whatever official Anno material you’re using and you’re not allowed to incorporate any copyrighted images, icons, fonts, etc. from other companies or products. We may ask for working files of digital entries afterwards.

You may submit only one entry.

You can also submit (optionally) a slogan for your product. It won’t be featured in the trailer but can give your submission more “flavour” and will be featured on our Anno Union article.

The full rules can be found here. Please make sure you review them before participating in the contest.

Winners & Prizes

A jury comprised of members of the dev team will judge the entries based on creativity, style & originality, and consistency with the Anno 117: Pax Romana universe.

We will select four (4) winners who will each win:

• One Anno 117: Pax Romana mug
• One Anno 117: Pax Romana trireme builder kit

Additionally, their creation will be featured in the trailer for the upcoming “The Hippodrome” DLC.

The winners will be announced on the 17^th of July, the trailer with the sponsors created by the winners will go live in August on release day.

We’re also planning to spotlight the winners as “official sponsors” in a livestream in August.
