Happy May everyone!

The past month has been a busy one at Crystal, punctuated by the reveal of a refined website design and the debut of a new (unprecedented!) community contest. Read on for more info.

Have you taken a peek at Tombraider.com lately? The team has revamped the look and feel to be more user-friendly and further embrace our dedicated community. Additions include user-generated videos, fanart submissions, an international fansite database, and even downloadable fankits with custom YouTube, Twitter, Tumblr, and Facebook graphics.

We’ve also collected and updated our asset archive with all screenshots, art, videos, and downloads published to date. Take a look around and let us know what you think via the “Current Topics” tab. You can also personally shoot me a message at community@crystald.com with feedback!

I’m ecstatic to finally blow the lid off a contest that’s been a longtime in the making!
The competition in a nutshell: We’re hosting a massive fanart contest calling for submissions that have been created by hand. Why, you may ask? The prize helped to dictate the rules in this case. The winner of the “By Hand” art competition will walk away with an original charcoal illustration of Lara Croft by Crystal Dynamics Senior Art Director Brian Horton. The exclusive drawing is a whopping 11x17 in size, professionally matted, and autographed. We’ve got three sizable subcategory prizes, too. The contest began April 9, and has already amassed dozens of impressive entries. The contest closes May 30.

The English rules and regulations are available for viewing here. To ensure that fans worldwide are able to participate, we’ve also translated the rules into Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, French, Italian, German, and Chinese. Thank you to our pool of dedicated webmasters who aided with the translations!

If I may gush for a moment, one of my absolute favorite things about the Tomb Raider fandom is the creativity of our followers. I love sifting through paintings, crafts, sculptures, costumes, and other creative endeavors - it’s the highlight of my day. I can’t wait to see what you guys come up with!
