We're having a contest to give away Dokuro for the PlayStation Vita! Enter in our art contest or our capture contest for a chance to win!

Attention PS Vita owners, we're giving away 4 copies of Dokuro for the PlayStation Vita, not only is this an amazing little puzzle plat former but the copies are signed by the procurers! There are two ways to enter, our Dokuro Doddle Hustle or the Dokuro Caption Contest.

Dokuro Doodle Contest

One of the whimsical characteristics to Dokuro is its charming chalk board art style. Participants will inspire themselves with GameSpot screen shots and images to create a Dokuro Doodle.

You can capture any element of the game in your drawing so long as there is a clear correlation between your art and the game. The traditional art medium to the game is very chalk like, but for this contest we will be accepting all styles.

The Rules:
You must be a GameSpot Registrant
Deadline to submit your entry for this contest is January 11th at 10:00am PST
Send your entry to contests@gamespot.com making sure to include your mailing address and your GameSpot Username

One (1) winner will be selected for the Dokuro Doodle contest and will receive a copy of Dokuro for the PS Vita. Judging for the entries will take place on Friday January 11th and a winner will be selected by GameSpot Staff members.

Dokuro Caption Contest

The story of Dokuro is a charming and simple one, our heroic skeletal friend may not get the love he clearly deserves, but that will not stop him from trying to save his Princess. To enter in the Dokuro Caption contest simply fill in the following caption and email it to contests@gamespot.com:


"Sticks and stone will break my bones, but __________________."

Want an example? Here's a freebie! (But you can't use it as an entry):

@Legolas_Katarn These are the games I know will come out on 2013. There are a lot more that are merely rumored to be released this year, but don't have a solid release date yet.

Watch Dogs, XCOM, Outlast...

@Stevo_the_gamer Yeah, @LegendofNerd always obliterates us. It's always a race for second place if he's here.

Whoa. I just looked up the definition of the word "procurers". Yuck. I'm not sure that this is the correct usage...

Just so people know, the digital version will not work for non-NA accounts.

 @Gxgear Just so you know, this contest isn't for digital downloads.You'd have known that if you'd read the text.

 @Granpire where exactly does it say hard copies?

 @DeviIHuman Gxgear said,"Didn't think they'd go that far out of the way to ship hard copies overseas for a community contest."

 

I was merely confirming that GameSpot does indeed ship hard copies of games and I used Darkness 2 as proof.

 

Nothing funny here.

 @fend_oblivion  @Gxgear  What are you talking about??? They said they having to have game giveaway of Dokuro then you receive Darkness 2 .. hahaha you got me, I really laugh a lot

 @Gxgear  They do. I won a Limited Edition copy of the Darkness 2 for a caption contest in GameSpot Asia. 

The packing was excellent and done with a lot of care.

 @Granpire I've had digital prizes mailed out to me, it's not unheard of. Some companies require a mailing address for confirmation/legal reason, and if my assumption on the digital copies was correct, requesting an address actually make sense (NA residents). I actually read it over several times in an attempt to confirm what of the prize will be, but other than "signed" (which I missed), you can't really tell for sure. Didn't think they'd go that far out of the way to ship hard copies overseas for a community contest.

 @Gxgear Codes wouldn't be mailed out. That's absurd, and a waste of money.

 

OK, I was a little harsh. But if there's one thing I can't stand, it's when people don't take the time to properly read the article they're commenting on.

 @Granpirecodes could be mailed out as well depending on how they operate, but I didn't catch the signed part. But sure, condemn me for skimming.

Granpire

 @Gxgear For one, there's the fact that the submission instructions call for a mailing address.

 

Then, there's the first paragraph, which mentions, "...the copies are signed by the procurers!"

...And that's how I learned that this game isn't digital download only.

I may have to enter this later. Is it okay to participate in both the Doodle and Caption contest, or only one?
