Breast cancer

it's serious, it's deadly, and everyone is at risk.

gamersvscancer_zps569ef6b2.png

Here are the hard facts:
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, regardless of race or ethnicity
About 1 in 8 women in the use will get breast cancer in the course of their lifetime
About 85% of breast cancer cases occur in women who have no family history of breast cancer.

Earlier this week I got a copy of Dead or Alive 5 Collectors edition and given that these voluptuous vixens have a few things in common I thought I would take a chance to hold a wall paper contest to promote breast cancer awareness using the women from Dead or Alive and popular slogans about fighting breast cancer.

Here are the rules for entry.
- Those who wish to participate will send an email to contests@gamespot.com with the subject "Fighting for Breast Cancer Awareness"
- Your wallpaper must be themed around both Dead or Alive and Breast Cancer Awareness. There are plenty of images of Dead or Alive Characters here for you to use.
- You must include 3 sizes for your wall paper, 1280×800, 1440×900, and 1680×1050.
- Images must be remain tasteful, we're promoting breast cancer awareness.
- Your wallpaper must include a slogan for "Fighting Breast Cancer" either an original or one of the following slogans.

***SPOILER***

You will have until October 29th at 10:00am PST to submit your entry, winner will be randomly selected via raffle drawing so the more wallpapers you create, the higher your chances for winning!

Argh! Just realized that the image hosting site I used resized the image when uploading. I will be sending a new email with the images attached directly in the email. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.

I'd love to just do this, not even for a prize. Please do something like this every year. Be aware, save the tatas!

 

Gotta get my Photoshop back -_-

 Good attitude, no time like the present.

 

*An often overlooked FACT about breast cancer is : Males can get it too.
