Hello everyone and welcome to the Alien Ship Poster Contest! You might remember the Banu commercial that Jax McCleary presented to us during the Intergalactic Aerospace Expo 2949. Well, now it's your turn to create a ship poster of your favorite alien ship in the style of its corresponding Star Citizen alien race. Snatch an image of your favorite alien ship or vehicle (screenshot or concept art), take an in-game screenshot of your favorite location in the 'verse, and compose a poster via third-party editing software to sell the alien dream to the pilots of the UEE. However, it's not as simple as it seems - the real challenge is emulating the marketing style of the Banu, Xi'an, Tevarin, or Vanduul. Before sharing your entry in the contest's submission thread or on Twitter (along with your Handle and the hashtag #AlienWeek2952), be sure to read the contest rules carefully.
