2K Games is running a contest letting fans create artwork to be featured in packaging and promotional material for WWE 2K14. The fan art will be used in marketing and become the inside cover in retail copies of the game. The game’s official cover features WWE star and Hollywood a-lister, The Rock.
Fans of the wrestling game, fans of commercial art, and fans of wrestling and art can enter the contest on the game’s web site, where they can also presumably access ready-to-paste designs for WWE stars. We don’t know what that art entails because at the time of this writing, the web page {link no longer active} to get and submit art was down.

On the upside for 2K, that snag with the site might have been because the contest is being well received. Also at the time of this writing, the hashtag #WWE2K14Cover was trending on Twitter. That’s where contest entrants are supposed to showcase their entries. From the looks of it, 2K knows they need to be ready for anything, and they’re ready to be good natured about what people submit. This one made their Twitter cover photo.
2K says the winning entry will be chosen on “creative merit,” and that the image will become part of the game’s marketing on social media and in other promotions.
