Contest concluded! Winners revealed soon!

We’ve just announced two Mega Man tribute albums, and we want your best artwork to become the official cover art!

For Everlasting Peace: 25 Years of Mega Man (OverClocked ReMix)

This album contains tracks from the first game in each Mega Man series, so it makes sense for the album art to cram as many mega-men on their as possible! Submit art featuring an ensemble cast of “Mega Man” protagonists from each following series: Mega Man, Mega Man X, Mega Man Legends, Mega Man Battle Network, Mega Man Zero, Mega Man ZX, Mega Man Star Force. Art must feature “Mega Man” from each of the aforementioned series (X, Volnutt etc)

MM25: Mega Man Rocks (Sumthing Else Music Works)

This album focuses mainly on Classic and X, so we’re looking for a completely different style and presentation. Submit art featuring an ensemble cast of characters from the Mega Man and Mega Man X series in a musical, rock & roll themed setting. Submitted art must feature, at minimum, both Mega Man and Mega Man X, but can also include Robot Masters, Mavericks and other supporting characters.

Both images need to be 2400×2400, JPG, 300dpi

And now for the legalese!
