Once again it's time for a contest, and this time it won't be restricted to those who can draw. :D However, there are a few points that you will have to keep in mind regarding what you can and cannot use/do for this contest:

1. Resources
   Only images from official non-fan-made DMC mediums may be used. Some examples include:
• Screenshots of cutscenes (DMC1-4)
• Screenshots of gameplay (DMC1-4)
• Screenshots of the anime
• Screenshots of trailers (including those that are scraped)
• Game + guide covers + promo art + official concept art
• Manga (by Chayamachi) / Dreamwave comic scans
• Illustrations from the novels
• Pictures of all characters' voice/motion capture actors
  
  
2. Crossovers
   You may use and combine images from other games as long as DMC is included.
   
   
3. Composition/Format
   There is no limit to the number of images that you may use to compose your image, but turning it into a comic format (with panels) is not allowed. Your image should only involve ONE scene/panel.
   
   
4. Image alternation
   You are free to edit the images you use however way you please (e.g. changing their facial expressions, adding items to their body) but do keep in mind that the less alterations you make, the more authentically funnier your caption truly is.
    
5. Image dimensions
   It is recommended that your image be horizontally long and widescreen instead of vertically tall. (e.g. 1000x600 = good, 500x1000 = bad) This is to make sure that the winning entry can fit into the framed image above.

1. Anyone and everyone can join this contest, and you are free to submit as many entries as you’d like.
    
2. Save your entry in the format of only JPG, GIF or PNG.
    
3. Submit your entry. Remember to include your name.

This time, all that I can think of is to post the winning entry on Devil's Lair's main page (just like the framed image above) Other passive prizes include:

3. Self-satisfaction *_*
4. Bragging rights *o*
