OFFICIAL CONTEST ANNOUNCEMENT - BIRDS OF PREY

We're very excited to partner once again with Girls Read Comics, Too in presenting March's redesign contest: the Birds of Prey!

Year 2 of Superhero of the Month has been all about user suggestions and reader's choice. Some of these characters have been suggested before, and some are brought about simply because of their BoP association. We feel that this will give readers plenty of choice.

Special to this challenge is that you are being asked to redesign two (2) Birds of Prey in your submission!

While the BoP roster is fairly sizable, there is one caveat: you must choose one (1) of what we feel are the "core" characters of the Birds of Prey, and one from the overall BoP roster. Therefore, you must choose one of the following: Barbara Gordon, Black Canary, Huntress, or Lady Blackhawk.

While you are free to choose two from the core characters, you may also select one of the following: Katana, Starling, Poison Ivy, Big Barda, Black Alice, Lady Shiva, Gypsy, Hawkgirl (Kendra Saunders), Judomaster (Sonia  Sato), Power Girl, Hawk, Dove, Misfit, Manhunter, Infinity and Vixen.

A few special notes:

1) Please send your chosen characters to us in one (1) image. Supplemental images may be sent, but not are guaranteed to go up on the site (but will likely surface on our Facebook and Tumblr pages). Separate images of your characters will be manually spliced together into one for ease of posting. You've been warned.

2) With the New 52 revamp and Barbara being back in the cape and cowl as a part-time BoP member, you are free to send us your Barbara in either her Oracle or Batgirl persona..

3) If you're ambitious, you may send in more than one pair of redesigns. However, you cannot duplicate characters, with the exception of Barbara as either Oracle or Batgirl. You must stick to the format of at least one (1) "core" character paired with another from the BoP roster.

4) The BoP roster is 95% female, some of whom have a tendency to show a lot bit more skin than others. Apply the same logic to this contest as we did with Starfire last month.

 There's a lot of freedom and a lot of territory to explore, so have fun! Submissions are due Saturday, March 24 by 10:00 PM MST. Any questions, comments, concerns or jokes should be sent to us via email.
