Calling all show offs!
It’s time to exhibit your finery!
PlayStation ® Home’s acknowledged leaders in the world of virtual fashions (Lockwood Publishing) are launching a new competition for Playstation®Home users.
If you’re sure that blue is this year’s black which was last year’s brown.
If a runway is something more to you than something planes take off from.
If you fancy expanding your wardrobe with some official ShowOff merchandise then this is your time to shine.
Here’s how it works, all you need to do is take a shot of your Home Avatar in all their finery and e-mail it to us here at Lockwood Publishing.
The theme for the ShowOff competition is Best Dressed, so be as creative and artistic as you can in interpreting the theme and dress to impress. A shortlist of the best entries will be selected by Lockwood’s own design team and the winner will then be selected by a popular vote.

We can’t wait to see what you come up with!

ouch! 500Kb limits……
Whew boy,you sure can learn alot by reading the fine print.I still find it amusing to see that it’s necessary for lockwood to protect itself from entrants disappointment.It did say British courts and laws would apply so maybe that’s a lawsuit there,idk just seems like stating the obvious to me.One thing that wasn’t quite so obvious to me,maybe it’s been stated elsewhere or is so obvious that i missed it is this:Is this for female and male avatars?And if so must the avatar be a true representation of it’s real life users gender?Just curious,i have no intentions of entering but know alot of ppl that will and it’s the sort of thing they will ask me when i tell them about this.
I’m personally curious if the personal information of the winners along with their user ID’s will be published. I know I would not my personal information made public.
I’m not sure if I see that in the competition rules. I think clarification from Lockwood would be a good idea.
The prizes shown are both male and female shirts, so it is open to both male and female avatars. An avatar is any gender you choose -- not necessarily what you got stuck with in real life. Some of the most fashionably dressed ‘females’ in Home are actually males. They make no secret of it in their posts on Ladies Fashion Runway. And it is a non-issue for most of us.
I agree with Joanna that I would not enter a contest if I thought my real-life name was going to appear. But for me that is a moot point -- I cannot enter the contest anyhow. I promised to help everyone who is competing so it would be hypocritical of me to do that and then compete against them.
And it isn’t that big of a deal to me either in this context but thought that it would be best to find out now instead of later,thanks for the info.
Exciting news and accessing clothes vary in cheap expenses so its worth the chance! My male avatar has a fashion sense too
Why not enter both male and female pics, BlueEyes?
I could and make a fashionable statement X___x but it all depends if my ps3 will get fixed because unfortunately I had the YLOD 4 days prior to the welcoming of psn ( on bf’s ps3 ). keara, I have encountered the most attractive avatar in Japan then behold it was a male
Well I think they just want your name to mail your rewards.
Hi Guys,
Thanks for all the questions.
We’ve updated the rules for the competition here:
http://www.facebook.com/notes/lockwood-publishing-ltd/lockwood-showoff-showdown/214451418587410
So this should help clarify matters.
A quick summary:
-- Is the competition open to male and female avatars?
Yes, there are no gender restrictions on what kind of Home avatars can enter.
-- Does the avatar gender have to match the REAL gender of the person entering the competition?
No, if you are a girl and your best outfit is on a male avatar or vice versa, it doesn’t matter.
-- Are the prize T-shirts real or Home Items?
The T-shirts are real shirts that will be mailed to the winners.
-- Will winners real details be published?
No, shortlisted competitors and winners will be listed by their PSN IDs and NOT their real names. The information requested is for registration purposes. No, entrant’s real details will be released without the entrant’s express permission.
Thanks very much for the for this!
In light of recent events, I’m sure that the clarification with regards to personal information and how it is used is greatly appreciated.
