Capcom Hosting Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate Weapon Design Contest
Capcom held a contest for Monster Hunter Tri in 2009 allowing fans to design a weapon, and it is doing it again for the upcoming Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate.
Fans/artists can submit their weapon designs to Capcom and a North/South American and European winner will be selected to have their weapon featured in the game. The weapon must fall into one of the game's 14 categories, must have a name, and can have a up to 100 word description associated with it, though a description is not required. Submissions will no longer be taken after the morning of May 5.
You can find all the details about the contest and how to enter by heading here.

Our Take
I like seeing these contests where fans are able to design elements of the game, but I'm always a little disappointed when they're not clearly defined as being user-created. Good luck to those who submit art!
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.
