Microsoft Holding User Submitted Gamerpics Contest
Microsoft is holding a contest where 100 user-sbmitted pieces of art will be selected for use by Xbox One players.
The contest is fairly simple: submit your designs, vote on your favorites, and the winners get to see their art used by other Xbox Live users. Submitted art can be original creative art or photography, but should not include any text. Voting begins December 9.
You can find more information here, and all the rules for the contest here.

Our Take
It's a small thing, but having a healthy selection if imagery available to choose from early on is nice. I was always disappointed with Xbox Live's early options, and even more disappointed by the PlayStation Network's. I'm curious to see what designs people will come up with.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
