Fatman Acceptance Month: Fan Art Contest
UPDATE: Winner announced
All throughout 2019, we have been celebrating The Year of the Running Man, in honor of the best boss in the entire Metal Gear franchise—Kojima said so himself—and because the film “The Running Man” takes place in the year 2019.
But what if we told that Running Man had a spiritual successor? One worthy enough to borrow this celebratory year for one month? One that needs our acceptance in these troubling times? An atomic, wine slurping, bomb maniac on roller skates, with a beautiful vision of the world?
We, of course, are taking about Fatman! And to raise awareness for Fatman and his message(?), we’re hosting a contest.
The rules are simple: just make Fatman fan art. This can be literally anything. A drawing, a video, a t-shirt, a song, an erotic fanfic, a wood relief carving. Go wild, the party’s about to begin!
The winner takes the following prizes
- July 2012 “PlayStation: The Official Magazine” issue signed by Hideo Kojima
- Official Peace Walker-themed PSP nubs
- Official Metal Gear 25th anniversary sticker
- And, most importantly, a copy of “Would You Kill the Fat Man: The Trolley Problem and What Your Answer Tells Us about Right and Wrong” by David Edmonds
The deadline is 11:59 PM EST on September 30th, 2019. Entries will be judged by staff, and a winner will be announced before the end of October.
(DISCLAIMER: Prizes will only be shipped to USA addresses. Winner must provide a US address to receive the prizes shown above)
Good luck, and in the spirit of Fatman….
