CONTEST: Entires Due By May 20 10:00 PM EST

Here are the game rules:

1) Go to the following link:

https://www.heroinitiative.org/portfolio-item/the-wonder-woman-100-project/

and review the 100 different Wonder Woman HERO Initiative sketch covers that are going to be auctioned.

2) Choose 5 and ONLY 5 covers that you want to guess the closing price on. Try to guess as close as you can to what the final auction price goes for.

An example entry would look like this:

  • Chris Moreno - $50
  • George Perez - $100
  • Stephen Segovia - $150
  • Mike Grell - $200
  • Sean Phillips - $300

How the "scores" will be calculated:

If the auctions close for the following amounts:

  • Chris Moreno - $55
  • George Perez - $150
  • Stephen Segovia - $250
  • Mike Grell - $300
  • Sean Phillips - $350

then we will determine who came closest to actual bids with this formula

  • 55/50 = 1.1
  • 150/100 = 1.5
  • 250/150 = 1.67
  • 300/200 = 1.5
  • 350/300 = 1.17

This would produce a total score of 6.94/5 = 1.39

3) Scoring information:

  1. The higher amount (either the closing price or the guess price) will be divided by the lower amount. 
  2. Numbers are always rounded to two decimal points.
  3. Winner is determined by whomever comes closest to a total score of 1

Prize Information:

If you are interested in donating a prize to the competition, that's fabulous! but definitely not required.

In order to make this worthwhile, we will need several people participating. In order to accomplish that I'm going to offer a nice collection of prizes :-)

  • Walking Dead Hardcovers Volumes 8 - 12

I have to say I'm a little surprised there haven't been more people participating. It doesn't take long to submit an entry. Will be a shame if we don't get a good number of people. 

I tried creating a prize package that would interest a lot of people...

Great game Jay, I'll enter shortly. Do you think it'd get more traction over in CG? I know I never make it to this forum and wouldn't have known about it if you hadn't directed me. I think it's general enough that it could fit in there? Just a thought! At any rate, let me study up...

I made a post in CG linkin it to this thread. Also in original art forum -- so hopefully that will create enough visibility.
