After taking last year off, Court Records' largest contest is back! With a new game on the horizon it's time we put our creativity into overdrive and match wits with Capcom's best. Do you have what it takes to come up with a character unique, clever, and quirky enough to be a part of the Ace Attorney cast? Show us what you've got!

For those of you not familiar with the contest, the object is to create an original character that could easily be at home with Phoenix, Apollo, and the gang. These characters must be depicted in the form of a fanwork, in one of three categories: Fanart, Fanfiction, Sprite. The three categories will be judged entirely separate from each other, and a winner in each category will take home the prize, which this year is the Kenji Complete Artbook released in Japan.

For the full rules and details, please check out the contest page.

We're also still looking for judges, if anyone (who does NOT plan on entering) would like to volunteer. The judges are responsible for cutting down the entires into finalists, not for selecting the ultimate winners. Shoot me an email if you're interested.

And lets get those entries cooking!

I wouldn't mind being a judge.

Are previous winners allowed to enter?

If not, I wouldn't mind being a judge for fanfiction.

Since it's been two years since the last one, I'm going to say it's okay for previous winners to come back. Our user base is smaller now than it's been for a while anyway, so more entries, the better!

Will get to work then~

I'll volunteer to be a judge for fan fiction, and I'd like to try out doing a fan sprite. How close do they have to be to PW sprites to be navigable?

Are you still accepting applications for Judges? Or should I just make my entry now for the contest?
