Hello everyone! Can you imagine, it’s been a year since we released April was a Fool? I can’t… We’re still chugging away at the expanded version, but it’s time I let you fans take the reigns for a bit.

Though the duration of the original game, May never wore an outfit that belonged to herself. The reasoning for that was that May was not ‘me’ she is all of you! The expanded version of the game will include bits of story after the main plot, some of which are going to require May to wear something that is her own. It just doesn’t feel right that I design that outfit.

So, from today until May 1st at midnight (UTC-07:00), we’ll be holding a contest for fans to design the outfit May will wear after graduating from Hero’s Academy! And to make sure this is by you all, the final decision will be decided by a vote.

Here’s some tips:
* It would be best to keep her original colour scheme of blue, purple, and white. (but you don’t have to)
* You can style her hair, but please do not cut it
* The outfit must be something that can work for any of the classes the player can pick in game: Mage, Warrior, Priest, Rogue, or, well, “Politician”

As it stands right now, there will be 3 winning categories!

PLAYERS CHOICE - The entry that wins the most votes
* Your design will be used in game
* I will draw a print with your design to go on Society 6 and send you a copy
* I will design a mug to go on Society 6 and send you one
* Free Bust Shot Commission from @makiokuta

MAKIO’S PICK - I will pick one aside from the winner that I like best
* One item from the Society 6 Store up to the value of $25
* Free bust shot commission
* One 11oz mug of your choice from the Society 6 Store

RUNNER UP VOTE - 2nd place in votes
* One free chibi commission from me

CONSOLATION PRIZE
* Everyone who enters and doesn’t win gets a free doodle of an AwaF character of their choice!

** Please note, the winning design will become property of Dragonfly Studios. We will never use your artwork for anything outside of advertising the winner of this contest (On twitter, tumblr, RMN, and our website), but we will use the design in game, promotional artwork, and on merchandise. Please, do not enter if you are uncomfortable with this!

** If you are unwilling or unable to share your mailing address, but win a physical prize, we will work something else out at that time.

RULES
* Please email your entries to Shuta.Medu@gmail.com with the subject line “AwaF Contest” before 0:00 May 1st, UTC-700
* You may enter only one design, however if you send one and wish to swap it with another, that’s fine
* After entries are all submitted, I will take a couple of days to set up the vote. The vote will then run for two weeks
* The winner, ultimately, will be the person with the most votes :)
* I will be using my Patreon goals to help set up more prizes for this event!

If you have any questions or concerns, please toss me a message or note here, or an email. I hope this will be fun.

And a huge THANK YOU to anyone who played and supported April was a Fool this past year! <3
