c)                   Further, the email should also contain the character name belonging to the account of the participant as well as the server and language version, and information should be provided concerning by which copyright identifier the participant should be named if they win, as in the content of the presentation as the creator of the work. If the participant does not provide any indication of preference, they provide their general agreement that the provision of the character name, language version and server being played on is sufficient as copyright identification. Should the participant prefer to eschew any form of copyright identification, they may indicate as such in their entry.

4)                  Each participant is permitted only one entry. Entries submitted outside of the participation period as well as multiple entries, including entries linked to different accounts, will not be considered.

2. Winners and Prizes

(1)                Gameforge will select a total of 20 works from amongst all eligible entries based on their respective creativity and originality. The ‘winners’ are those participants who made these selected creations.

(2)                Gameforge will announce the winners during the course of the day on 24/2/2020 on the internet sites (including the SoulWorker Steam page) and social networks and online forums maintained by Gameforge (together the ‘Gameforge sites’) using their character names and game servers, and inform them of their win via an email sent to the email address used for the entry (hereafter ‘notification’).

Gameforge will therefore ask the winners in the announcement to send in their addresses in response to the respective announcement up to the 22/3/2020 at the latest ('response').
