If I was still into Zoids as much as I used too, I would definitely consider entering that contest as well.
Although I've always viewed the entries of the previous competitions, I never really understood how that whole thing worked. It'd be great if you can shed some light on the rules and whatnot if you don't mind.
Anyways, good luck on the contest!
Basically, the contest boils down to an arena competition that serves as an alternative to war between three factions (ECF, EUF, and Aurelia). Each entry chooses which faction to be a part of, and people vote through email on their favorites. Zoids are ranked by the number of votes received, but in addition, victory is also determined by the overall number of votes received by the faction as well (so for example, if a faction has five zoids, each with only one vote, it will win over a faction with only one zoid that has four votes).
I believe the entry deadline is in May, with voting taking place afterwards. I know one of the current entries is at least two years old, so I'm guessing that it's open to any customs built since the last ZCA in '09.
Besides the normal stats and description of the zoids, entrants are required to include a description of the pilot and their reasons for fighting as well as their combat styles. A minimum of five pictures (640x480) are required to exhibit views of the entries from various angles, but we are allowed to submit an additional five if we want to show off the zoid/pilot via dynamic posing, photoshop, whatever.
Hope that helps!
Too bad the US zoids community isn't as big as it used to be anymore. It would've been great to see a similar competition held among the english speaking community.
